Youkilis says 'I'm not AL MVP'
Kevin Youkilis of the Boston Red Sox heard the glamorous designation being associated with him, and acted as if the words were "'American Idol' finalist." Actually, they were "most valuable player," but Youkilis shook his head, tapped his bat on the ground and immediately dismissed the connection. Me? M.V.P.? Not a chance. That is basically what Youkilis said about the possibility that he could win the American League's M.V.P. award this season. Before Youkilis would discuss his candidacy for a few seconds, he predicted who might snare the prestigious award. "If I'm putting my bet up there, I think Carlos Quentin or Josh Hamilton right now," Youkilis said. "I don't think I'm in there."

Hamilton may get it simply cause the media has a hardon for him, but without him, they have Kinsler and Bradley. Could easily argue either one of those are MORE valuable than Hamilton for Texas, but in any event, if all 3 could be considered, one can rule all of them out cause MVP of the AL should, at first, be far and away MVP of their own team and none of the 3 are far and away more valuable to the Rangers than the other two.
Q if the White Sox make the playoffs, probably deserves it but, if the Twins make it, it's gotta be Morneau. No one is more valuable to the Twins success than him. As he goes, so does the team.
If bot hteam make it, I don't know. Twins were expected to finish lower in the standings, so they'd be more of a surprise...

there something to be said for modesty. I think he is a great team player, he hits when needed. He is a classy guy, could you imagine Arod saying that, no way no how, but that's Kevin.

It would be actually worthwhile if he said that he was the MVP.

I am a Yanks fan but I love Youks.
He is an honest, hard-working buzz-saw that plays hard every inning. He is a very good clutch player and clubhouse guy as well.

Yankees fans hate Youk, but they forget that they used to have their own beloved version of Youk ... his name was Paul O'Neill. Scrappy, hard working, animated. Anyone else remember how many times O'Neill slammed batting helmets around and had tantrums? He was also a heck of a ballplayer. Bottom line is, Youk plays hard every single play and that gets on the nerves of some people. I don't like the Yanks, but I respect the heck out of Derek Jeter because he plays that way. Some clueless Yankee fans don't recognize talent or hard work unless it's in the Bronx.
