Verlander Wins Both Cy Young and MVP

Justin Verlander, ace pitcher of the Detroit Tigers, won both the AL Cy Young Award and was also MVP of the AL.  Without a doubt Justin Verlander had a great year and was virtually unhittable most of the year but was he really deserving of the MVP?  How can a guy who only contributes to one of every five games be named MVP of the league when he only plays in possibly 40 games?  I believe the Cy Young is the MVP award for pitchers which he deservingly achieved but then why give him the MVP award also?  The MVP award should go to a position player who contributes to every game and has an impact on whether they win or lose night in and night out.  Sure when Verlander pitched he contributed to the game but he only contributed in 21% of the games played in that year.  In no other sport can you only participate in 21% of the games and still win the MVP, it's just not possible.  Congrats to Justin Verlander on his accomplishments during the season but I do not believe he is to be called the MVP.
