Because Roy Halladay is such an obvious and boring choice, Alex Rios had a disappointing season compared to what we expected him to do, and no one else really stands out. And that's the driving point - no one really stands out, so why not Scoot?<BR/><BR/>The fact that Marco played everywhere and anywhere makes the MVP call a "fun choice". It wasn't meant to be taken so so seriously (or else Halladay would get the nod).<BR/><BR/>And some Cubs fan would argue that Mark DeRosa is their MVP. And basically, Scutaro is a poor man's DeRosa.

Ah well. <BR/>Individual awards are BS. There, I said it. Having an MOP makes sense though, like in the CFL. The valuable thing is dumb. Like Morneau winning a few seasons ago. It was cool that he won, Go Canada Go and all that, but he had 2 other "MVP" candidates on his team already, so wouldn't someone who was the only good player on their team be more "valuable?". <BR/><BR/>If we have to choose for the Jays, I say give it to Halladay and call it a day.
