MLB Awards

The season is just about over, so I'd like everyone to make a list of their MVPs and Cy Youngs.

Please rank your top 5 MVP candidates and top 3 Cy Young candidates.

Here's my list:

NL MVP

1. Votto
2. Pujols
3. A. Gonzales
4. Tulowitzki
5. Huff

NL CY

1. Halladay
2. Wainwright
3. Jiminez

AL MVP

1. Cabrera
2. Hamilton
3. Longoria
4. Cano
5. Bautista

AL Cy

1. Hernandez
2. Sabathia
3. Lester

 

Hamilton's team was a surprise runaway division winner.

Cabrera's team tanked.


No contest.

 

Normally, I would agree, but Hamilton missed a ton of games and the Rangers kept going anyway.

 

It isn't Cabrera's fault that his team collapsed. He played too much more than hamilton for Hamilton to win in comparison based on their overall numbers. Though Hamlton would not be a bad choice overall. In fact, if Hamilton is better in CF than I am giving him credit for, I will glady concede that he deserves it more as well.

 

You can't blame Cabrera for the Tigers' collapse, but you do have to figure team success into the MVP vote. The AL Vote is tough. You've got three players on teams that have been out of it for a while (Cabrera, Bautista and Konerko) and one who has missed a bunch of games (Hamilton).

 

AL MVP

1.) Bautista
2.) Bautista
3.) Bautista
4.) Bautista
5.) Bautista

AL CY

1.) Bautista
2.) Bautista
3.) Bautista
4.) Bautista
5.) Bautista

NL MVP

1.) Bautista
2.) Bautista
3.) Bautista
4.) Bautista
5.) Bautista

NL CY

1.) Bautista
2.) Bautista
3.) Bautista
4.) Bautista
5.) Bautista

 

That cuts me to the core, BYH.

AL Cy Young (just to piss off oop)

1.) CC Sabathia
2.) Jon Lester
3.) Cliff Lee
4.) Felix Hernandez

 

I think even BYH's list was better.

 

Here's some pretty good analysis:
