Most of you know that I have posted several MLB Award blogs through-out the season.  These are my final selections.  Just be aware that my choice are only mine opinion.  I did not take into consideration whether a players team will be in the play-offs as I feel these are individual awards.  The baseball gods will probably disagree, as their criteria will be different. Once again. do not feel offended if your choices aren't as mine.

American League

ROY - Evan Longoria (Tampa Bay)

MVP - Josh Hamilton (Texas)

CY - Cliff Lee (Cleveland)

Manager of the Year - Joe Maddon (Tampa Bay)

 

National League

ROY - Joey Votto (Cincinnati)

MVP - Albert Pujols (St. Louis)

CY - Tim Lincecum (San Francisco)

Manager of the Year - Joe Torre (L.A. Dodgers)

Okay, now that I've stated MY opinion, lets hear yours.

I agree with pretty much everything...

Josh Hamilton? His team is 21 games out of first place in their division, with an under-.500 record. His OSP is 100 points below his teammate Milton Bradley's. He's 20th in OBP, 10th in slugging, 7th in OSP; the only thing he leads the league in at the moment is ribbies. If your team wins less than half its games, how valuable can you be? The MVP ought to be split between Youkilis and Pedroia (who leads the league in hits, runs, and doubles); they created runs, played outstanding defense, and took up the considerable slack left by Manny and Big Papi. You could also make a much better argument for Texiera, Morneau, or Quentin (especially before he put himself out of commission, thereby likely costing his team a play-off slot).
