Where would the Dodgers be without Kershaw? No where, that's for sure. The argument still stands.
The numbers that the candidates that you listed had great seasons, but take Verlander off that Tigers team and there's no way the Tigers would have gone as far as they did.
Grienke in 2009 - he was on a poor Royals team. Hence why he didn't garner as much MVP votes. But you take Mauer off of that Twins team and they don't make it to the playoffs.

So yes, they just need 81 wins in their joke of a division.
Of course, they'd still lose in the postseason so really, replacing Verlander doesn't really change anything.
