MVP

It's official - Jose Altuve was named the American League's Most Valuable Player for 2017, and the vote wasn't even close.  
The thirty voting members of the Baseball Writers of America gave him 27 first place votes and 3 for second for a total of 405 points.  Rookie of the year Aaron Judge had the second place total at 279.
All the attention is, and should be, on Altuve for his fabulous year, but three other Astros received at least a few votes - George Springer, Carlos Correa, and Marwin Gonzales - Not bad for a team with one of the lowest payrolls in the Major Leagues.
