Did Jeter Get Jipped Out of the AL MVP?

I am not a Yankee fan, but after revisiting the numbers between two of the top vote-getters in this year's American League MVP voting, I'm not quite sure why it is Derek Jeter was denied the honor.  He did not have the home runs Morneau had, a full 20 less, and he was 33RBI short of Morneau's total, but he had 34 stolen bases to Morneau's 3, and a .343 batting average to Morneau's .321 average,  and a .417 on base percentage compared to Morneau's .375 on base percentage.  Not to mention, Derek Jeter plays shortstop, arguably one of the toughest, if not the toughest position to play well, espcially in New York, where, let's face it, everything is harder due to the pressure media scrutiny.  But year after year, Derek Jeter produces.  This was a career year for him. 

As far as the home run and RBI totals for Jeter, he is mostly a number 2 hitter.  His primary role is not to drive in runs or hit the ball over the wall, yet he still almost drove in 100.  I'd like to see the comparable RBI totals for other number 2 hitters in either league.  I suppose what comprises an MVP is somewhat subjective.  There is a lot more than numbers that go into it.  Morneau had a fantastic year, as did his teammate Joe Mauer.  The argument could be that without Morneau, the Twins would not have made it to the playoffs, whereas Jeter has a team of All Stars all around him.  Still, the Yankees had their share of injuries to deal with, and Jeter was a rock of consistency.  It could be argued that while the Yankees are a team mostly of All Stars, Jeter is the brightest star of all, not just for what he brings to the game with his on-field play, but his leadership and the fact he is a winner, like him or not.  Without Jeter, the Yankees may have struggled more than some might think.  I cannot believe I'm saying this but, I think Jeter might have been jipped because he plays for the Yankees!
