    Albert Pujols won the 2008 Roberto Clemente Award Why the media doesn't follow this guy the way they should and why baseball doesn't market him is beyond me.

    The criteria for Manager of the Year is stupid. Last year Eric Wedge was the shit, and this year he ain't shit compared to Joe Maddon.

    Wedge did a good job keeping his team fighting while being so far back. They went from last to third in the second half.

    If they don't win there's something wrong with the system. You can't give the MVP to someone who batted .251, just can't
    I guess HRs and RBI's are overrated. Mind aswell just give all of Billy Beane's players the MVP.

    AL MVP - I'd probably still vote for Quentin - I expect Youkilis to win
    NL MVP - Pujols by far - I wouldn't be surprised if Howard wins though
    AL Cy Young - Lee should win - and will easily
    NL Cy Young - I can't decide between Lincecum and Santana - I think Lincecum takes it
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    They're not overrated. But a one-dimensional player can't win the MVP. There are people that have both that are "more valuable"

    And Pujols didn't strike out 200 times.

    Pujols also had significantly more doubles, more SB, more BB, as well as a higher BA, OBP, AND SLG...

    He might be one-dimensional, but his contribuitions with his bat cant be disregarded.

    Howard hit 11 more HRs than Pujols and drove in 30 more rbis. I'm not saying that Howard deserves to be MVP over Pujols, because Pujols will most likely win it, all I'm trying to say is that we can't ignore how good of a year Howard despite hitting .251 and striking out 200 times, he was still able to hit 48 HRs and drive in 146 runs. Another impressive stat I saw about Howard was he hit over .300 with runners on base with 2 outs. And had .320 BA with RISP.

    I agree completely. It is a mystery as to why baseball doesn't promote this guy. He is very articulate and is well respected throughout the major league cities. Fans all like the guy, for the most part.

    If someone hates Pujols, they are either a Cubs fan, Brad Lidge or they hate themselves. There is no reason to hate this guy!

    AL MVP: Pedroia, I think he'll sneak by Youk in a potential 1-2 Sox sweep
    NL MVP: Sabathia, He was the MVP, but Pujols will win it
    AL Cy Young: Cliff Lee...duh, although Roy Halladay might be a better pitcher Lee's #'s were absurd
    NL Cy Young: Sabathia, he was the best pitcher in the NL from when he got dealt... Lincecum is a close 2nd

    The thing is the MVP and Cy Young awards are not judged from "the date CC got traded". They are judged over the whole season. CC's NATIONAL LEAGUE numbers were dominant, but he did not spend the entire year in the NL, and his award chances are hurt by that, or at least they should be.

    Braun had a lot more to do with the Brewers success than Sabathia over the course of the season.
