Jeter, Rodriguez and Posada win Silver Sluggers

From Bryan Hoch:

Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada and Alex Rodriguez were rewarded with American League Silver Slugger Awards, recognizing their offensive contributions in helping the Yankees to a 94-victory season and the AL Wild Card.

Louisville Slugger's Silver Slugger Award winners were determined in balloting of Major League coaches and managers who were asked to vote for the players they felt were the best offensive producers at each position in both leagues in 2007. (MLB.com)

Congratulations to Jeter and Posada.

Carlos Pena, Placido Polanco, Ichiro Suzuki, Vladimir Guerrero, Magglio Ordonez and David Ortiz rounded out the American Leaders winners.

MVP

After rolling an ankle at third base last night and having an MRI done this afternoon, Alex Rodriguez hit two home runs in the same inning (the first one tied the game).

This gives him 48 home runs on the season which ties his Yankee career-high. His 134 RBIs put him nine shy of tying his career-high.

Magglio Ordonez has had a great season, but Rodriguez deserves to win the MVP award. The Yankees would not be where they are at this point in the season without him.
