Thanks to all who voted in the First Have MVP Polls and here are the results:

METS: SP John Maine won the vote, receiving 53% of the votes.  Reyes came in 2nd with 28%, and Wright came in 3rd with 14%.  Billy Wagner received the other 3%.  Beltran received 0 votes.

RED SOX: SP Josh Beckett won the vote, receiving 66% of the votes.  Ortiz and Papelbon finished tied for 2nd with 13% of the votes.  Youkilis received the other 6%.  Surprisingly, no votes went to Mike Lowell, who led the team in RBI thfirst half or rookie sensation Dice-K.

I guess Maine deserves it, because he had a brilliant first half to help an inconsistent starting rotation.  Reyes deserves it too, but the offense was not good enough in the first half.  Thus, the best pitcher deserves more credit than the best hitter.

Beckett definately deserves it for the Sox, as he was one of the best pitchers in all of baseball through the first half.  Where would the Sox be with lets say, the 06 version of Beckett, instead of the 07 version?  I'm really surprised no one voted for Lowell, as Mike had an outstanding first-half, carrying the offense along with YOOUUK, when Ortiz and Manny were struggling.

Thanks again all for voting and be sure to vote in the new polls before the trade deadline hits soon!
