  • Verlander adds MVP to Cy Young: Less than one week after winning the American League's Cy Young award, Tigers SP Justin Verlander was voted as the winner of his league's Most Valuable Player award. Verlander took 13 out of the 28 first place votes, becoming the first AL starting pitcher to win the honors since Roger Clemens won the award in 1986. Red Sox OF Jacoby Ellsbury, Blue Jays 3B Jose Bautista, Yankees OF Curtis Granderson and Tigers 1B Miguel Cabrera finished behind Verlander, and all received first-place votes.

    Fantasy Analysis
    It's a rarity for a pitcher to be rewarded with an MVP, but that's just how dominant Verlander's season was. Despite being voted the best player overall in the American League, he is not a shoo-in to be the first pitcher taken off the board in next year's drafts. While Clayton Kershaw and Roy Halladay can make a case for being the most valuable pitcher in Fantasy for the coming year, Verlander is likely to be taken in many drafts before the end of the first round.
