Mauer catches AL MVP honors: Joe Mauer became only the second catcher in 33 years to win the AL MVP Award, finishing first in a near-unanimous vote Monday. The Twins star received 27 of 28 first-place votes and 387 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Yankees teammates Mark Teixeira (225 points) and Derek Jeter (193) followed, while Detroit's Miguel Cabrera drew the other first-place vote and was fourth with 171 points, one point ahead of the Angels' Kendry Morales. Mauer became the second Twins player to win in four years, following Justin Morneau in 2006. Teixeira led the AL with 122 RBI and tied for first with 39 homers. Jeter was second to Morneau in the 2006 voting and finished third behind Juan Gonzalez and Garciaparra in 1998.

Fantasy Analysis

After missing April with a back injury, Mauer homered in his first at-bat of the season and went on to lead the AL in batting average (.365), on-base percentage (.444) and slugging percentage (.587), the first AL player to top all three categories in the same season since George Brett in 1980. Mauer is the No. 1 catcher and a viable first-round pick in any Fantasy league. Teixeira and Cabrera are also first-rounders, while Jeter is a top 5 Fantasy shortstop despite his advanced age.
