MLB Awards

Before I start: TWINS over the Tigers :)

 

Okay here it goes. My opinions, you don’t have to agree. Oh and I didn’t mention all the awards.

AL MVP: Joe Mauer (not as impressive as the NL MVP, but he’s part of the reason why the Twins are making a run for the playoffs. & .364 BA!)
NL MVP:  Albert Pujols! (self explanitory)

AL CY YOUNG: Zach Greinke (2.16 ERA, 237 Ks, 242 Ks, despite w/ a 16-8 record)
NL CY YOUNG: Tim Lincecum (this could go either way; Lincecum or Carp both are very deserving. But my pick is Lincecum, not only because I’m biased ;) but because Carpenter missed like about 4-5 starts that might have had impact on his ERA. 261 Ks v 144 Ks bigg difference 2.48 ERA v 2.24 ERA not that big of a margin considering one pitched more games. And yes I know it’s not Carpenter’s fault he was injured. Lincecum has .206 BAA v Carpenter’s .226. You might think some of the info are irrelevant, but just putting up facts. Oh and Tim Lincecum is the defending Cy Young winner, everyone knows it’s hard to go back to back and comparing the old Lincecum to this year’s Lincecum, he is better than last year. But really NL CY is a toss up, I’d be happier if it went to Timmy, but Carpenter is also very deserving and I wouldn’t call anyone who voted for him wrong.)

AL MANAGERS: Mike Scioscia
NL MANAGERS: Jim Tracy (as much as I didn’t like how he put the Rockies together and helped beat the Giants, he is a greattt manager.)

 

 

 

Next years hope;

Who’s going to make it to the postseason a year from now?

For me, I hope there are some new faces.

EX:

I love the Yankees, but I would love to see the Blue Jays win the AL EAST (very very unlikely, but would be great to see new faces.)

So here’s my prediction not even, just some ‘hopes’ of new faces.

AL EAST: Blue Jays.
AL CENTRAL: Royals.
AL WEST: Mariners.
AL WC: Orioles.

NL EAST: Mets.
NL CENTRAL: Pirates (I don’t like them or anything, but I really hope they have a winning
        record next year.)
NL WEST: I’m a little biased of course, GIANTS! but if not, Padres.
NL WC: Padres.

 

Most of these ‘predictions’ will more than likely not happen. But the post season would sure be interesting with these teams. Haha.

My pick for next year’s World Series? ROYALS v GIANTS. 
(Greinke v Lincecum).

 

This year’s WS? Angels v Rockies. And Rockies win 7th game.
As much as I want the Yankees to go to the World Series, I just see the Angels taking it and Rockies are hot right now, and I want them to win because they’re from the NL West, which was dubbed the weakest and they were almost taken down by the Giants. AND I would love somebody to beat the Angels. :)
