He wears out pitchers and rarely walks or strikes out. His game is all about contact and making something happen. Comparing him to Giambi or Hunter in one statistical category isn't going to change that he was the player of the game more often than not in a season where his team won 116 games.

I know that he is very good, and probably the best player on seattle last year, but I just don't think that he was worthy of the MVP.
