AL Awards

This season has been one of the toughest to decide Awards. In The AL, the leading candidates are:

 

- Josh Hamilton: League Leader in RBI's

- Dustin Pedroia: Hitting Machine

- Kevin Youkilis: Every offensive stat he holds is among AL Leaders.

- Justin Morneau: RBI and Hitting Machine, will punch in a few Homers from time to time.

- Fransisco Rodriguez: On Pace for 60+ Saves, you cant argue he should be on this list

 

Honourable Mention:

- Cliff Lee: The Only reason he is not on the list is because the Indians are a last place team in their division.

 

AL Manager of the year is the Interest one for me. With Baseball experts and fans giving it easily to Joe Maddon of the Rays, i said to myself, if the Jays make it to the Playoffs, should Cito Gaston be the leading Candidate putting a team under the 500 mark before the all-star game in the playoffs is quite remarkable.

 

AL CY Young award: As Much as i want Halladay to win it, i dont think this one is even close. Cliff lee will be the winner and im 99.9% sure he will. With his 20+ wins and only 2 Losses with an ERA under 2.50 is really one of the best seasons ive seen a pitcher put up in a while.

 

AL Rookie of the Year: Evan Longoria is the leading Candidate even though he has been on the DL for quite some time. He Will win it unless he doesn`t play another game and Alexie Ramirez goes on an offensive surge in September.
