Pick the MVP and Cy Young winners


splitterpfj

Please answer this in two parts - who do you think will win the award, and who would you pick if you had a vote?

 

MVP

 

They will pick: Ryan Howard and Dustin Pedroia.

 

I would pick: CC Sabathia and Pedroia.

 

Nobody meant more to their team than CC did - period. I think Josh Hamilton was the best player in the AL this year, but Pedroia absolutely made a difference for the Sox, so I'll go with the guy who's still playing.

 

Cy Young

 

They will pick: Tim Lincecum and Francisco Rodriguez

 

I would pick: Lincecum and Roy Halladay

 

The voters will fall for K-Rod's huge save total - but Mariano Rivera was actually more effective this season, in virtually the same IP. Halladay and Cliff Lee were both amazing, for me, Halladay wins a photo finish.

 

It's very tempting to pick CC for the Cy Young, but Lincecum was equally awesome, so I won't be a total homer.

MVP

Will win: Pujols and Pedroia

Should win: Pujols and Sizemore (Quentin if he doesn't get injured)

 

Cy Young

Will win: Webb and Lee

Should win: Lincecum and Lee

 

It's really tempting to pick CC Sabathia. If he had won all of his starts or had been in the NL a month earlier, he probably wins the MVP. I hope he wins.

Me: Lincecum

 

 

AL MVP

Them: Pedroia

Me: Morneau

 

AL Cy Young

Them: Lee

Me: Lee

Hard to even justify anyone else really and the only hands down winner

Will win - Pedroia, Lee in AL. Howard, Lincecum in the NL

 

Should win - Sizemore, Halladay in the AL (much more difficult teams faced overall than Lee), Pujols, Sabathia in the NL (not counting the AL numbers is silly given it is a tougher league).

 

If you are sticking to your guns and saying Sabathia can't because of the split season I'd still pick Santana over Lincecum. If Braun doesn't get hurt I 100% believe he wins the NL MVP.

Here's my NL Ballots:

 

MVP

1. Pujols, should win it

2. Berkman

3. Wright, could win it

4. Hanley Ramirez

5. Ryan Ludwick

6. Ryan Howard, probably will win it

7. Beltran

8. Utley

9. Delgado

10. Reyes

Brauns awful september drops him off the ballot.

 

Cy Young:

1. Lincecum

2. Santana

3. Webb

4. Haren

5. Dempster

 

ROY

1. Soto

2. Votto

3. Fukudome

 

AL

MVP - Dustin Pedroia

CY - Cliff Lee

ROY - Jacoby Ellsbury

 

I wouldnt give either of the big NL awards to Sabathia, MVP because I feel a pitcher does not deserve it, and Cy Young because he really only pitched half the year, just a victim of circumstance.
