I think this is stupid.

I heard a quote from the great Kirby Puckett. This was said after he came in second in the MVP voting to relief pitcher Dennis Eckersley in 1992 (paraphrasing):

"It's okay, next year I'll bat .340, hit 40 homeruns, and 120 RBI's and win the Cy Young".

Pitchers have their own award. They shouldn't be open to two awards when hitters only qualify for one.

EDIT: Unless they add a hitter's only award as well. The Babe Ruth Award or something like that.
