It's kind of surprising Clemens has never won one. However, we could just as easily ask "Will ARod finally win an MMP?"
1. Alex Rodriguez, 3B, New York Yankees: dominates the junior circuit with 173 OPS+ and 163 RC
2. David Ortiz, DH, Boston Red Sox: 4th in OPS+ and 2nd in RC
3. Johan Santana, P, Minnesota Twins: 155 ERA+ is 1st in AL; 231 IP is 2nd
4. Brian Roberts, 2B, Baltimore Orioles: cracks the top ten in OPS+ while adding +15 defense from the keystone
5. Mark Buehrle, P, Chicago White Sox: leads the AL in IP with 236; 3rd in ERA+ with 144
6. Mark Teixeira, 1B, Texas Rangers: great combo of O (144 OPS+) and D (+13 fielding)
7. Travis Hafner, DH, Cleveland Indians: 2nd in AL in OPS+ with 168
8. Victor Martinez, C, Cleveland Indians: 130 OPS+ and catcher bonus boosts V-Mart
9. Vladimir Guerrero, RF, Los Angeles Angels: 154 OPS+ and +8 fielding
10. Roy Halladay, P, Toronto Blue Jays: 185 ERA+ in an injury shortened season
One of them should break their drought this season.
1. Roger Clemens, P, Houston Astros: doesn't crack the top ten in IP but 226 ERA+ leads the league by almost 50 points
2. Derrek Lee, 1B, Chicago Cubs: 1st in NL in OPS+ and RC, with +5 fielding
3. Albert Pujols, 1B, St. Louis Cardinals: 2nd in NL in OPS+ and RC with +13 fielding
4. Andy Pettite, P, Houston Astros
5. Chris Carpenter, P, St. Louis Cardinals
6. Dontrelle Willis, P, Florida Marlins: good year for pitching in the senior circuit; these three are 2-3-4 in ERA+ and each have over 220 IP
7. Chase Utley, 2B, Philadelphia Phillies: the underrated superstar career kicks off with a 132 OPS+ and +23 fielding
8. Roy Oswalt, P, Houston Astros: an incredible rotation in Houston; Oswalt is sixth in the league in ERA+ but only third on his team
9. Morgan Ensberg, 3B, Houston Astros: a career year thanks to a 144 OPS+ and +14 fielding
10. Pedro Martinez, P, New York Mets: just beats out John Smoltz and Jason Bay for the top ten
1. Alex Rodriguez, 3B, New York Yankees: dominates the junior circuit with 173 OPS+ and 163 RC
2. Roger Clemens, P, Houston Astros: doesn't crack the top ten in IP but 226 ERA+ leads the league by almost 50 points
3. Derrek Lee, 1B, Chicago Cubs: 1st in NL in OPS+ and RC, with +5 fielding
4. Albert Pujols, 1B, St. Louis Cardinals: 2nd in NL in OPS+ and RC with +13 fielding
5. David Ortiz, DH, Boston Red Sox: 4th in OPS+ and 2nd in RC
6. Johan Santana, P, Minnesota Twins: 155 ERA+ is 1st in AL; 231 IP is 2nd
7. Brian Roberts, 2B, Baltimore Orioles: cracks the top ten in OPS+ while adding +15 defense from the keystone
8. Andy Pettite, P, Houston Astros
9. Mark Buehrle, P, Chicago White Sox: leads the AL in IP with 236; 3rd in ERA+ with 144
10. Mark Teixeira, 1B, Texas Rangers: great combo of O (144 OPS+) and D (+13 fielding)
11. Chris Carpenter, P, St. Louis Cardinals
12. Dontrelle Willis, P, Florida Marlins: good year for pitching in the senior circuit; these two are 3rd and 4th in ERA+ with over 235 IP
13. Travis Hafner, DH, Cleveland Indians: 2nd in AL in OPS+ with 168
14. Chase Utley, 2B, Philadelphia Phillies: the underrated superstar career kicks off with a 132 OPS+ and +23 fielding
15. Roy Oswalt, P, Houston Astros: an incredible rotation in Houston; Oswalt is sixth in the league in ERA+ but only third on his team
16. Victor Martinez, C, Cleveland Indians: 130 OPS+ and catcher bonus boosts V-Mart
17. Vladimir Guerrero, RF, Los Angeles Angels: 154 OPS+ and +8 fielding
18. Roy Halladay, P, Toronto Blue Jays: 185 ERA+ in an injury shortened season
19. Morgan Ensberg, 3B, Houston Astros: a career year thanks to a 144 OPS+ and +14 fielding
20. Kevin Millwood, P, Cleveland Indians: low on IP (192) but 2nd in Al with 147 ERA+
Interesting year--weaker pitching performances in AL, much stronger in NL.
1. A Rod--clear cut #1 for me
2. Pujols--easy #2. With Bonds' injury, Pujols and A Rod are the two best players in the game
3. Lee--kind out of nowhere career year
4. Utley--edges out Tex for #4
5. Teixeira
6. Willis--barely beats Carpenter for top pitcher, could go either way honestly but bat sees to it that he is ahead
7. Carpenter
8. Andruw Jones--lower BA/OBP keep him from challenging for top 3
9. Clemens--less innings & not completing games hurt standing as well as win total
10.Roberts
11.Ensberg--anchored weak Houston offense, along with World Series rival at 3B Joe Crede, just kinda vanished
12.Santana--top AL pitcher in a weak year for Junior circuit hurlers
13.Ortiz
14.Pettitte
15.Oswalt--three Astros pitchers make top 15
Honorable mention or close:
Vlad, Hafner, Miggy, Bay, Manny, Pedro
