Morneau would be named the American League MVP in 2006 and was named the runner up in 2008. While his tenure with the Twins was the easily the best of his career it is worth mentioning that he had a renaissance late in his career with the Colorado Rockies where he won the National League Batting Title, which was certainly a feat that nobody expected from Justin Morneau in that stage of his baseball life.
While all of this is very good, it should be noted that Morneau never once finished in the top ten in bWAR in any season, including his MVP selection. It is hard to make a modern Hall of Fame case for any player who never accomplished that.
