Several people have asked me for the complete list of AL marginal lineup
values that I based my last article on, so I've decided to post the list.
These are sorted by marginal runs per game.

Edgar Martinez seems to me to be the only reasonable MVP candidate at this
point.  The only players among the MLV leaders who play tougher defensive
positions (or at least considerably better defense) are Griffey, Puckett, 
Roberto Alomar, Lou Whitaker, and Chris Hoiles.  Of those, Hoiles hasn't
played enough to be as valuable as Tettleton overall, much less Martinez,
and I don't think even Alomar's superb D and running game are enough to make
up for a 20+ run gap in total batting contribution.  I hope he wins; it would
help to wash the taste of Andre Dawson '87 out of my mouth.

It looks like this, more than any past year, is the year of the DH.  Winfield,
Molitor, and Downing are all producing at star player rates; that sort of 
thing hasn't happened in past seasons.
