I've given up even looking at the "awards", as I just had the fielding illiterate OF-Justin Upton (D/B-) lead wire-to-wire for the gold glove in a 2009 progressive league?!?!?

It's all about the under the table money!!
.........once I saw Upton leading the pack early, I greased the palms of the voters to keep him there......still didn't figure he could ever win the award over the course of the entire season!

Plus plays factor into Gold Glove significantly, offsetting a few points of fielding percentage.

I believe the MVP is based upon a combination of RC (runs created) and fielding (I don't know if its strictly just their fielding pct or +/- or some type of combination).  I've never ever seen a pitcher appear on any MVP list though so I think it only considers hitters.
