This list confuses me greatly. I understand the winner argument: Hard to have a guy on a bad team as MVP over someone on a contending team. But that doesn't explain Tejada, Papelbon, Young, Ichiro over Hafner. That just doesn't make any sense. Tejada was considerably worse than Hafner, Young was considerably worse than Tejada. Papelbon is a closer on a non-contending team. Ichiro is a glorified singles hitter on a last-place team. Hafner needs to be moved up about 10 spots.
