Damon had the second highest fielding percentage of all Centerfielders, and the most put-outs (a good sign of range in the field). Aaron Rowand was the highest in fielding percentage and was constantly on Web Gems on ESPN for his amazing (and body sacrificing) plays.
Maybe I am biased as a Sox fan, but I felt Rowand deserved. I especially have an issue when a player who barely played over half the season wins an award intended for a full season's achievement. Don't get me wrong, Hunter is awesome, but he just simply didn't play enough this year IMO.
