Without mentioning what you already said, A-Rod is a Gold Glove candidate this year. He goes out there everyday and makes tough plays to help his team win. Plays that could potentially get him injured at times.
Ortiz just has to walk a few feet about 4 times a game and that's the extent of his playing the field.
The MVP should be the guy the excels at both sides of the game and who does so in helping his team win ball games.
So you see who wouldn't be my pick.

That and I ain't picking a yankee and you ain't picking a red sox! :P
"potential for injury" is a fact of the game, I've never seen A-rod pull a Jeter and go head first into the stands (Damn, he'd look good in a Red Sox uni!).
I agree with MVP being who helps their team the most, I just don't think the loss of A-rod's glove would hurt them that much, the loss of their bat is a different story.
Also, the reason I only put those 2, is I really don't see anyone else in the AL that comes close to them for AL MVP.
