Derek Jeter so high? Vlad beats out Hafner? And he got a first place vote? Rivera loses the Cy to Colon and yet the same writers not only put him far ahead in the MVP but also put Colon as the 3rd pitcher? What is Richie Sexson doing there? And of course the most glaring inclusion, Scott Podsednik? Four writers thought Scott Podsednik (.290/.351./.349, one of the worst statistical seasons for a left fielder in all of baseball) was deserving of an MVP vote?
And who voted Alex third? Obviously it's someone who put Ortiz 2nd and Vlad first. This actually helped Alex because 1st - 14 pts, 2nd - 9 pts, 3rd - 8 pts.
