vhawk,
The problem with using salary is it means every MVP would be under 25.

Right, like I said, you'd have to modify it a bit. You couldnt just have a straight 1:1 ratio between performance and cost to determine your value. Twice as many HR is worth way more than twice as many dollars. But 38 year olds with huge albatross salaries really do crush some teams and so they should have to perform accordingly.
I'm just trying to salvage the MVP here, I think the obv solution is to ignore this stupid award and just give a "best player" award and stop even mentioning something as silly as MVP. But barring that I think there is some merit to focusing on financial value.
