    Well deserved, and congratulations to the pride of Woodland, CA.

    Youk would have been a good selection, too, given how he played both first and third this season with Lowell injured.

    Pedroia is one hell of a ball player. So is Youkilis. Those two guys are your bread and butter.

    Now who says I can't say nice things about the Red Sox? Who? 8)

    Trivia question for those who haven't seen the answer yet in the news articles about the award: Who was the last AL 2b to win the MVP award?
