This MVP voting was, possibly, the worst I've seen though. Just horrible, right on line with the 1987 results (Andre Dawson and George Bell), and other notable mistakes.
The problem is, there are writers who will avoid stats like the plague. I remember a column by Phil Rogers (Chicago writer) on ESPN.com a couple of months ago, where he said he didn't look at all stats because he was "too busy watching the games." It's like an unhealty aversion to just looking at the numbers.

Yeah, exactly - I think Keith Law said it best:

Incidentally, the following voters should be removed from the voting process permanently:
• The guy who put Jeter sixth.
• The guy who put Mauer 10th ... and the five guys who left him off their ballots entirely.
• The three guys who put Frank Thomas second.
• The guy who put A.J. Pierzynski 10th.

So so so so so so so so so so so so so silly. One of the worst MVP votes ever, wow.
