Sporting News 2011 MLB awards: Justin Verlander chosen Player of the Year - MLB - Sporting News
Congrats to JV!
Purely dominant. That best describes Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander's season, which surely will net him his first AL Cy Young award and might be good enough to earn him the AL MVP award.
It already has earned him Sporting News' 2011 Player of the Year honors. In voting by 289 major league players (177 players from the AL, 112 from the NL), Verlander was the first pitcher to win the award since the Los Angeles Dodgers' Orel Hershiser in 1988.
