Alright all the awards are not given out yet, but there are just a few more so far
AL Rookie: Evan Longoria (Tampa Bay)
NL Rookie: Geovany Soto (Chicago Cubs)
I think both of these are well deserved. Longoria was amazing this year, and was a key factor in leading the Rays to a first place finish in the AL East. Soto was amazing for the Cubs. A catched that put up good numbers, and just was amazing. Both easily ran away with their awards and for good reason.
AL Manager of the Year: Joe Maddon (Tampa Bay)
NL Manager of the Year: Lou Piniella (Chicago Cubs)
Both of these manager deserved it. Like their rookies that really ran away with their award. Piniella lead a Cubs team to an amazing lead over the NL Central, and the NL overall (won't talk about playoffs for you cubs fans). Maddon deserved it without a doubt because he turns a last place team into a first place team within a year. Of course he has a lot of talent, but the way he managed that talent and kept all the players sane deserves this award without any second thoughts.
NL Cy Young: Tim Lincecum (San Francisco)
AL Cy Young: Not Yet presented
Now this was surprising. I thought Webb would have this because he wins 22 when it is so hard for a pitcher to get to even 20. Webb played great the whole year and I am just surprised to see him only end up in second. Though I will say seeing Lincecum pitch this year was just wow. I mean this guy was amazing. 256 Ks with 2.62 ERA with 18 of his teams 72 wins. He was brilliant, and every single time I saw him pitch I saw a future Cy Young. I just didn't think it would be this year. I will say that if Lee doesn't win AL Cy Young then they better do a recount cause the vote would be bullshit.
MVPs for the leagues hasn't been decided yet.
Gold Gloves
AL
C: Joe Mauer, MIN
1B: Carlos Pena, TB
2B: Dustin Pedroia, BOS
3B: Adrian Beltre, SEA
SS: Michael Young, TEX
OF: Torii Hunter, LAA
OF: Grady Sizemore, CLE
OF: Ichiro Suzuki, SEA
P: Mike Mussina, NYY
This is a pretty nice list. I really cannoot pick one person out and say he doesn't belong. Joe Mauer I think is the best catcher in the AL right now and Pedroia is possibly the next great second baseman.
NL
C: Yadier Molina, STL
1B: Adrian Gonzalez, SD
2B: Brandon Phillips, CIN
3B: David Wright, NYM
SS: Jimmy Rollins, PHI
OF: Nate McLouth, PIT
OF: Carlos Beltran, NYM
OF: Shane Victorino, PHI
P: Greg Maddux, LAD
Greg wins another. Damn that guy is just plain good. Anyways I am finally glad to see they are finally recogizing Molina as the best catcher. He strkes so much fear into runners. He can throw you out at any base even when your not taking a lead. Everyone else I will say is pretty good. not really any big surprises I guess.
Silver Slugger Awards are released tomorrow and the AL Cy Young is as well. The MVP won't be release till November 18 for AL and November 17 for NL.
