Math was the big winner in the race for 19th place in the AL MVP voting. Joe Mauer -- who had a better WAR than Josh Willingham -- was the lone Twins player to get any votes, picking up an 8th and three 10ths (La Velle!).

In a side note, Miguel Cabrera took home 22 of 28 first-place votes to win the award.
