There was quite a bit of debate this year about whether Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander deserved to win the MVP award as well as the Cy Young; two days ago you learned that SB Nation voters gave him our AL Cy Young.
Since this is a NL blog, we didn't get a vote. Truth be told, if I had one, I'd have voted for him. Some SB Nation AL voters agreed, as you'll see, but most did not; Jose Bautista of the Blue Jays was the winner in a close vote over the Red Sox' Jacoby Ellsbury.
Full balloting after the jump.
