The problem / beauty with award voting is it lets the voter freely interpret the award. Just like many other aspects of baseball, the awards voting is done purely by human intellect and emotion - and that's what keeps it interesting. Sure people will get screwed over from time to time, but just like life, awards aren't fair.
On that note, I hadn't even realized how good Berroa's numbers were before I looked at them this morning. Comparing the numbers, I think Berroa rightfully deserved the award. Matsui's RBI total was inflated due to the excellent array of players in his lineup. Berroa didn't have as much a luxury.
