No way. Manny was amazing, but finished 13th in the league in VORP amongst hitters (again, a hell of an achievement in 1/3 of the season)- I think its fine to place him in your top 10, but the idea that he should be in the top 3 is ridiculous.
Its amazing - so far the association of nitwits known as the BBWAA hasn't fucked up an award - I have faith that they will give Morneau the MVP and continue on with their standard precedent however.
