AL MVP-
Dustin Pedroia-Had a huge year with several Boston stars injured or quitting(yes, u Manny!!!)… excellent defensive player and a complete pain in the butt to pitch 2… surprising power numbers for his small stature
AL CY YOUNG-
Francisco Rodriquez- Record setting season and in a contract year…. pitched a ton for a closer…..can be effective for another 5-6 years with his breaking pitches and change-up(see Trevor Hoffman)
AL MANAGER OF THE YEAR-
Joe Maddon- Changed a losing culture in a non-baseball city…Did a masterful job with a young rotation and a mix and match relief corps…Also emphasizes defense and speed, a rare tool in the AL
AL ROOKIE OF THE YEAR-
Evan Longoria-
Tremendous power and glove at 3b… Team leader and energy guy…. One of the few in pro sports who has lived up to the hype
2009 TEAM TO WATCH-
Kansas City Royals-
Don’t laugh, have good pitching(sick closer in Joakim Soria) and good young talent, remind anyone of a team in Florida?… Added a strong bat at 1b with the Mike Jacobs trade…. Did u know this team finished 4th, ahead of th Detroit Tigers?
