mauer should and will win it. but jeter winning it wouldn't be near the tragedy you're making it out to be. agreed. i don't like the yankees at all but jeter has been outstanding this season, and if he wins it over mauer, i'll just consider that an evening of the score from when morneau undeservedly beat out jeter in 2006. i think jeter's career has taken a path where he was really overrated because of the rings, batting average, leadership crap and the announcer ass-kissing of him, and people overlooked his lousy defense. then most people realized that his defense sucked and he had a couple of down years, to the point where now i feel like he's underrated. he's not the best player in the game but he's really damn good and has been for 15 years.
