ML Baseball Awards for 2012

[barrysloate]

Let's see who people think should win the major awards in baseball this year. Here are mine:

AL MVP: Miguel Cabrera
AL Cy Young: Jered Weaver
AL Rookie of the Year: Mike Trout

NL MVP: Buster Posey
NL CY Young: R.A. Dickey
NL Rookie of the Year: Wade Miley (Bryce Harper honorable mention)

Achievement of 2012: Miguel Cabrera's Triple Crown

AL MVP: Miguel Cabrera
AL CY: David Price(but I'd be ok with Verlander)
AL ROY: Trout. Duh!!!

NL MVP: Ryan Braun (He won't because of the failed test last year. But that was last year, and this is this year. Dude's leading in HR, 1 back in RBI, and then .20 back in BA. A late surge and he has an outside chance at the triple crown). Posey will probably get it though..
NL CY: Gio(but I'd be ok with Dickey)
NL ROY:Miley or Frazier(but Bryce could get it due to his hype)..

I do agree though: I honestly think that Miggy will get the triple crown..

[David W]

AL MVP - Trout
AL CY - Price???? but who knows, this is wide open
AL ROY - Trout

NL MVP - Posey
NL CY - Hate the Mets, but love the RA Dickey story, so Dickey
NL ROY - There could by 5-6 guys getting first place votes (Miley, Harper, Aoki, Lynn, Cozart). Miley probably wins.



Achievement of the year..... Mike Trout's amazing season which could be overshadowed by a Triple Crown by Miguel Cabrera

[Big Six]

Trout is a complete player...Cabrera...not so much. Trout for MVP & ROY...

If Cabrera misses the triple crown, then I would give the MVP edge to Trout, too. But if he gets The TC it's too compelling a story and he's the MVP. Yes, Trout is a more versatile player than Cabrera.

I can completely agree with that. Although, Trout's been somewhat average so far this month. Average at this time of year, will definitely have a negative effect on his chances..
