With the “first half” of the season in the books, who do you think was most deserving of the Red Sox First Half Most Valuable Player Award?
Kevin Youkilis: Not only is Youk the de-facto leader of the 2010 Boston Red Sox, he’s been one of their most consistent performers. (.293 AVG/.981 OPS/18 HR/57 RBI)
Adrian Beltre: Beltre came into the season with the expectation that he would wow with the glove — instead, it’s been his bat that has been doing the “wowing”. (.330 AVG/.907 OPS/13 HR/55 RBI)
David Ortiz: Your 2010 HR Derby Champion!!! After a miserable first month, he’s been one of the best hitters in baseball. (.263 AVG/.945 OPS/18 HR/57 RBI)
Jon Lester: While the other aces went missing, this one stepped up and delivered time and time again. (11-3/2.78 ERA/9.3 SO/9)
Daniel Bard: I think he pitched, and pitched well, in every game thus far this season — or so it seems. (1.90 ERA/41 G/3.75 SO/BB)
