Re: [轉錄][情報] 2008 AL MVP
下面是從 bbwaa 官方公佈的文章:
Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia had an historic victory in
winning the 2008 American League Most Valuable Player Award in balloting by
the BBWAA. Pedroia is the first AL second baseman to win the award in 49
years and only the third player to be named MVP the year after being elected
Rookie of the Year.
Pedroia, who led the league in runs (118), hits (213) doubles (54) and
multi-hit games (61), received 16 first-place votes from the 28 ballots cast
by two writers in each league city. Pedroia was listed second on six ballots,
third on four and fourth on one for a total of 317 points, based on a
tabulation system rewarding 14 points for first place, nine for second, eight
for third on down to one for 10th.
Minnesota Twins first baseman Justin Morneau (.300, 23 HR, 129 RBI), the 2006
winner, received seven first-place votes and was the runner-up with 257
points. Red Sox infielder Kevin Youkilis (.312, 29 HR, 115 RBI) got two
first-place votes and finished third with 201 points. Morneau and Youkilis
were the only players named on all ballots.
Twins catcher Joe Mauer (.328, 9 HR, 85 RBI) also was first on two ballots
and ranked fourth with 188 points. The other first-place vote went to Los
Angeles Angels of Anaheim relief pitcher Francisco Rodriguez (2-3, 2.24 ERA,
62 SV), who totaled 143 points and finished sixth, behind Chicago White Sox
left fielder Carlos Quentin (.288, 36 HR, 100 RBI), who had 160 points.
Rounding out the top 10 were Texas Rangers center fielder Josh Hamilton
(.304, 32 HR, 130 RBI), New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez (.302,
35 HR, 103 RBI, 104 R), the 2007 winner, Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Carlos
Pena (.247, 31 HR, 102 RBI) and Cleveland Indians center fielder Grady
Sizemore (.268, 33 HR, 90 RBI, 101 R, 38 SB). In all, 23 players gained
mention.
Pedroia, 25, batted .326, second only to Mauer, with 17 home runs, 83 RBI and
20 stolen bases for the Red Sox, who were the AL wild-card team. He struck
out only 52 times in 710 plate appearances.
As the previous year's Rookie of the Year, Pedroia this year matched the feat
in the AL of Baltimore Orioles shortstop Cal Ripken Jr., who was the Rookie
of the Year in 1982 and MVP in 1983, and in the National League of
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard, who was the Rookie of the
Year in 2005 and MVP in 2006. Two other AL players won both awards in the
same season, Red Sox center fielder Fred Lynn in 1975 and Seattle Mariners
right fielder Ichiro Suzuki in 2001.
Pedroia became the 20th former Rookie of the Year to be named MVP, the
seventh in the AL. Other than Ripken, Lynn and Suzuki, former AL Rookie of
the Year winners who later were MVPs were Rod Carew, Thurman Munson and Jose
Canseco. NL players who won both awards were Jackie Robinson, Don Newcombe,
Willie Mays, Frank Robinson, Orlando Cepeda, Willie McCovey, Pete Rose, Dick
Allen, Johnny Bench, Andre Dawson, Jeff Bagwell, Albert Pujols and Howard.
Allen was Rookie of the Year in one league (NL) and MVP in another (AL).
Frank Robinson was an MVP in both leagues.
A second baseman had not won the MVP Award in the AL since 1959 when Nellie
Fox of the Chicago White Sox was honored. Pedroia is only the fourth AL
second baseman and 10th overall to win. The other AL winners were the New
York Yankees' Joe Gordon in 1942 and the Detroit Tigers' Charlie Gehringer in
1937. The award has been won by a second baseman in the NL six times,
including two-time winner Joe Morgan of the Cincinnati Reds in 1975 and 1976.
The others were the St. Louis Cardinals' Frankie Frisch in 1931, the Brooklyn
Dodgers' Jackie Robinson in 1949, the Chicago Cubs' Ryne Sandberg in 1984 and
the San Francisco Giants' Jeff Kent in 2000. No position has had fewer MVP
winners.
Pedroia is the 10th Red Sox player honored and the first since first baseman
Mo Vaughn in 1995. The others were left fielders Ted Williams (who won twice,
in 1946 and 1949), Carl Yastrzemski in 1967 and Jim Rice in 1978, right
fielder Jackie Jensen in 1958, pitcher Roger Clemens in 1986, first baseman
Jimmie Foxx in 1938 (he also won twice with the Philadelphia Athletics, in
1932 and 1933) and Lynn in 1975. Since Vaughn's victory 13 years ago, three
Red Sox players finished second in the voting: shortstop Nomar Garciaparra in
1998, pitcher Pedro Martinez in 1999 and designated hitter David Ortiz in
2005.
※ 引述《TimChiu (2008的冬天)》之銘言：
: Pedroia雖然得到MVP，可是卻有一個記者連前十名都沒有選他，
: 這個人可想而知的已經被波城媒體幹爆了，他是Dallas的記者Evan Grant。
: Grant今天下午還接受WEEI的廣播訪問，結果被Big O Glen Ordway說到抱歉連連，
: 而且有趣的是，9/20號Grant寫的專欄裡，寫說如就球季到那天為止，他的MVP排名
: 是1. Youkilis 2. Morneau 3. K-Rod 4. Pedroia。
: (另外，他說如果他有資格選NL MVP的話，他會投給David Wright)
: OK，MVP票選的截止日是球季結束，季後賽開始前，從9/20之後的比賽，Pedroia
: 的打擊成績是 9 for 23 3doubles 4rbi 2run 2SB，不知道這樣的成績為何讓Pedroia
: 在Evan Grant心中的排名一瞬間從第四名滑到榜外？
: 另外附上Evan Grant最終的MVP投票
: 1. Kevin Youkilis
: 2. Francisco Rodriguez
: 3. Justin Morneau
: 4. Josh Hamilton
: 5. Carlos Quentin
: 6. Alex Rodriguez
: 7. Cliff Lee
: 8. Joe Mauer
: 9. Grady Sizemore
: 10. Carlos Pena
: um...interesting!
