Every year SB Nation takes a poll of the various Major League Baseball network blogs to determine winners for Rookie of the Year, Cy Young, and Most Valuable Player. The official BBWAA awards come out next week, but we name our own winners this week, moving forward today with the American League MVP.
The winner of the 2011 SB Nation AL MVP award is Jose Bautista of the Toronto Blue Jays.
