Pedroia isn't a terrible pick. He was 3rd in the AL in VORP and 1st among position players in WARP. I can live with it since I was worried K-Rod would somehow end up walking away with the award.

If they truly wanted to give the award to the Most Valuable player, though, it would have been Mauer or Cliff Lee. The Twins didn't make the postseason, though, which means Mauer's season carried zero value. Cliff Lee was a pitcher on a .500 team, which means he wasn't even a real baseball player.
