i agree with this guy

buster olney's mvp/cy picks: alex rodriguez, albert pujols, chris carpenter, and mo:

You tell me that Santana has been the most effective starting pitcher in the AL, and I say, you're right. You tell me that Bartolo Colon should win because he leads the league in victories, and I say, you've made a good case. The Twins have basically been out of contention for the last two months, and Colon has been great but not dominant.

Rivera's road ERA, going into Saturday's game, was 0.26. His overall ERA was 1.40. He's blown only two saves since those first two blips against the Red Sox. You show me stats that say Rivera is not that much better than other closers. I will tell you that hundreds of players, managers and talent evaluators strongly disagree with you, and believe Rivera gives the Yankees an edge no other team has, as it pursues championships.
