Tejada had a great year, but I personally would have voted for A-Rod or Thome. Soriano predictably got votes for the "where the heck did he come from?" factor. He had half the season Giambi did, but Jason loses for the "we can't give him the MVP *every* year" factor.

As far as A-Rod goes, sure, the voters can give an award to a guy on a last place team who isn't nearly the best player (Andre Dawson, 87) but can't... ugh.
