He has won his fair share of games this year for the Sox, but how can an MVP come from a team that has been so horrible over the past few months? Historically speaking, the MVP usually goes to a fielder from a team that finishes in first place.
"he is more clutch than most any hitter producing in baseball right now" haha are you kidding me? Maybe back in July, but he has not done much clutch hitting for his team as of late. And if you call breaking the Sox club HR record clutch than you are lacking baseball knowledge. Clutch is winning games to get your team into the playoffs, which is something that the Sox will not be able to accomplish until 2007 if they are lucky.
Props to Papi for all the HR's he's hit this year though, but he will not win the MVP.
