Verlander for MVP?

That being said, I do not think a pitcher should win it. Hitters are out there nearly every game so it is really hard to justify a pitcher being more valuable playing every 5th game.

But starting pitchers are a lot more valuable to a team on a given day than an everyday player is on that same given day. In fact, if the pitcher if x5 more valuable in his appearances than an everyday player then you could pretty much compare them both equally.

I would vote for Verlander - incredible season for the guy - but I kinda doubt he will get it due to goofy voters.
