3B Ken Boyer 1964
SS Roger Peckinpaugh 1925
LF Kirk Gibson 1988
CF Joe DiMaggio 1947
RF Jeff Burroughs 1974

I pains me to put 2 of my favorite players, DiMaggio and Garvey, on this list, but they are the worst MVPs at those positions.

^ looks like a tough team to beat, or/err/umm an easy team to beat

A lot of intangibles with Munson, Garvey, Evers, Gibson, and DiMaggio. Watch out for them.

If you could assemble a team from Gold Glove winners...

1st base - Justin Morneau 2006

2nd base - Dustin Pedroia 2008

[Gee Walker]

Trying not to duplicate JR Hart's list:

SP: Jim Konstanty 1950. He had a tough job, but didn't pitch enough innings to qualify for the ERA title.
C: Bob O'Farrell 1926
1B: George Burns 1926 (they thought he was better than Lou Gehrig that year????)
2B: Nellie Fox 1959
SS: Marty Marion 1944 - Hey, I know about his glove, but how do you win an MVP with an OPS+ of 90 in 1944?
3B: Ken Caminiti 1996 - for reasons other than raw statistics
LF: Hank Sauer 1952
CF: Willie McGee 1985
RF: Jackie Jensen 1958

^ well he was solely a reliever and 152 IP for a reliever in 154 games is an awful lot
