My take on the MVP is how well his team would play (or how poorly) without him.

This is whay I discount A-rod as an MVP candidate. His team would still be in last place without him!

Giambi left the A's and they are actually better off (just marginallY) without him.

My picks for MVP in the AL is:
(1) Tejada from the A's
(2) Soriano from the Yankees
(3) Garret Anderson from the Angels

I don't believe that pitchers should win the MVP unless they have an unbelievably great year (26 or more wins) and there are no strong contenders from the everyday players.

In the NL I would have to agree with Bonds as the choice. The Giants would be in last place without him and Jef Kent would be hitting about >250-20-75!
