In what could be a precursor to his being named MVP, Derek Jeter was named the American League's winner of the Hank Aaron Award last night.

The award, voted on by fans, is given to the top offensive player in each league. Philadelphia's Ryan Howard was the NL winner.

The AL MVP award voting will be revealed on Nov. 21.

In St. Louis to receive the award, Jeter couldn't escape talk about whether Alex Rodriguez would — or should — be back with the Yankees next season.

"Do I expect him to be back? Yeah, why wouldn't I expect him to be back?'' Jeter said. "You never sit around trying to figure out with our organization, but Alex has a few more years left on his deal, so I would expect him to be back.''

I'm a big Jeter fan, but I don't think he deserves this award. The MVP yes, when you factor in his fielding, leadership, and on field attitude. The Hank Aaron award is for the best hitting star in the league. My vote went to Justin Morneau.

Best hitter in the AL was Travis Hafner. Close behind was David Ortiz. Jeter doesnt deserve this award.

The fans obviously voted for this award. The majority of them voted for Jeter, so why doesn't he deserve it? You guys who didnt't vote should've instead of saying he doesn't deserve it. This award is bs anyways, all Jeter cares about is the WS ring.

EvanAparra

He doesn't deserve it because he wasn't the best hitter, thts why.

As opposed to the other 99% of all major leaguers?
