*I couldn't help it. Jack Wilson's defense has been so unbelievable that it just didn't feel right to not give him a gold glove. Technically he's played the bulk of his games in the National League this year...oh well.

A few weeks ago I fully expected Joe Mauer to overtake Zack Greinke for AL MVP. When Greinke allowed six earned runs on August 3rd it seemed like it was just a matter of time before he gave up the top spot. However, since then he's managed to post a 2.13 ERA in his last five starts, as well as a 0.81 WHIP, 40 K's (in 38 Inn), and opposing hitters are putting up a Chris Young-esque statline of .163/.215/.304. Meanwhile, Mauer has cooled off considerably over his past 13 games (.255/.333/.314). Both WAR and WARP1 agree that at this point the race isn't even close. If anybody has a chance of catching Greinke, though, it's Mauer.
Pujols over Lincecum was actually a pretty tough decision. In the end it was decided that their value was close enough to give the edge to the position player. Also, UZR seems to be undervaluing Pujols' defense so far this season. Bill James' Plus/Minus system favors him considerably more, and his track record would indicate that he is much better than what UZR may have you believe.
