Rodriguez beats Ortiz to win second MVP in three seasons

“For all their big hits, fielding was the difference between Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz when it came to balloting for the American League’s Most Valuable Player.

A-Rod won the award for the second time in three seasons in a vote that rewarded an all-around player over a designated hitter. In his second season as the New York Yankees’ third baseman, Rodriguez received 16 first-place votes, 11 seconds and one third for 331 points from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.”
