All of the top three vote getters in the American League are young, none of which were older than 25 in their '08 campaign. Personally I'm a little surprised that no Ray made an appearance before Carlos Pena at number nine, but that may just speak more volumes about the nature of Tampa Bay and how they succeeded this year. Just as surprising to me is exactly how high Joe Mauer finished on this list; you don't hear much about him finishing higher in MVP voting than Justin Morneau in traditional media.
