2010 NL Award Show Predictions

Just a reminder that I did absolutely miserable with these predictions the past two years, but alas we shall predict err make an educated guess at these things.

MVP - Prince Fielder, Picking Pujols is boring so I'm going to throw out something mildly different. We're going with Captain 400 lb Vegetarian. Fielder only hit 46 home runs last year and just topped 140 rbi a crappy season for anyone. This season came garnered him 4th place in the MVP race. I'm not sure he improves on this number, but maybe the others (Howard, Hanley, Pujols) decline a bit.

Cy Young - Yovani Gallardo, I'm jumping off the ledge and going with my Mexican man crush. He'll need to significantly drop the ERA but he's going to strike out 225 batters this season and well this post is all Brewer related because I'm 8 hours away from a 3 day weekend which will be filled with Brewskis.

Manager of the Year - Bobby Cox, I figure this will be kind of like a going away present. Cox is set to retire this season and his team is deep and will make a playoff push.

Rookie of the Year - Jason Heyward, Well if I don't get this one right than I'm a fool. He's made the roster, he's everyone's top prospect in baseball. So... I should at least get one right?

Comeback Player of the Year - Troy Glaus, Mr. Glaus was injured all of last year but he's still just 33. He's getting an everyday spot at 1B in Atlanta in a good lineup and he easily could return to 27 HRs from 2008.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
