Unanimity for presidents has been reserved solely for Washington. For Albert Pujols in 2009, all the denizens of SBN nation who cast a ballot lauded him with the honor being the unanimous NL MVP. Can anyone even make an argument against this?
For myself, I literally just voted by WAR, but I did slip Michael Bourn in at 8th because, I could and I thought he deserved it. I obviously wasn't the only one pulling some homerism, so I'm not too concerned.

The only practical question
Is how much positional value you actually lend to playing shortstop. Hanley Ramirez did have a monster year offensively (while posting average defensive numbers), and that’s rather rare at the position.
Less practically, there’s the whole “don’t give it to the same guy two years running” thought process. I don’t buy into that personally, but I can kind of see the sentiment.
