Let’s say that you are an entity involved in the Major League Baseball MVP voting this year. You are still wrestling with the decision of what to do with your precious AL MVP vote, and for some strange reason you are reading this blog. Well, hypothetical voter friend, you have come to the right place. Gaze at the image above these words. Let it imprint itself on your consciousness.
It’s very simple. This is a reminder to help you hold the proper voting concept in your brain bits at all times.
M: Miguel Cabrera
V: Justin Verlander
P: Paws
Out of those three, nobody will care which way you vote; all are valid choices. But remember! MVP: Miguel, Verlander, Paws. Now go do your bit for truth, justice, and the Detroit way.

I would love to see Paws win MVP.
He’s MVP of our hearts, anyway.
I’m going to go ahead and rain on the parade here and point out that ballots for the postseason awards are due immediately after the regular season and before the postseason. However, I do most heartily agree with the sentiment.
Oh hush. If they’re not announcing the damn things until mid-November, we’re allowed to pretend. :)
