My Award Winners of 2008

AL

MVP: Kevin Youkilis- He is having a great year. He has a very good batting average and his 7th in the league in Woba. He has put up very good numbers all across the board and has been the best player for the Red Sox this year. His OBP is nearing 400 and he has put up a good SLG percentage. He also has the a great OPS which I value very much.

Cy Young: Cliff Lee- Frankly he has been dominant this year. He has the best record in the league and the best ERA. He had great control throughout the whole year. The guy went from competing for the 5th spot in the rotation to the best pitcher in the AL this year.

Rookie of the Year: Evan Longoria- He has had a great year. He led all rookies in home runs. While he may not have a great OBP he has a very good OPS and SLG percentage. There really was no other choice for ROTY.

NL

MVP: Albert Pujols- Really don’t need an explanation. Most feared hitter in baseball and dominated opposing pitching.

Cy Young: Tim Lincecum- He was stellar this year. He had by far the most strikeouts in the NL and had the best win-loss record in the NL. Tim and Webb were very close in my opinion and Webb kind of sucked the last month while Tim kept it up earning the award.

Rookie of the Year: Geovany Soto- Soto put up very good power numbers this year. He had a decent OBP and decent SLG. He had a pretty good OPS. He also handled that great pitching staff of the cubs pretty well so he gets my award.
