2007 Award Predictions 

Post#1 » by OldNo7 » Fri Oct 5, 2007 2:45 am

Put 2 categories if they are different.
Who will win, and who would you vote for?

AL MVP:
Alex Rodriguez on both

NL MVP:
My gut says Prince will win, but I would vote for Matt Holliday

AL Cy Young:
I think Beckett will win, but I would vote for Sabathia

NL Cy Young:
Peavy in a cakewalk.

AL Rookie of the Year:
Could go anywhere here, Pedroia, Okajima or Delmon Young. Young has better all around stats (almost 100 rbi) but Pedroia probably wins.

NL Rookie of the Year:
Ryan Braun all the way. Tulowitzki probably gets some votes, but Braun was a beast.

AL Manager of the Year:
Eric Wedge, Indians

NL Manager of the Year:
Would go with Clint Hurdle of the Rockies or Bob Melvin of Arizona

Not sure why everyone is on Becketts bandwagon so much. Yes, the 20 wins stands out I guess, but that is as much due to team he is on. Sabathia had 19, logged 40 more innings, better ERA, same WHIP, more strikeouts, less walks.

I think it will be close between C.C and Beckett.

AL MVP:

A-Rod. As close to a no brainer as you could think. His second half numbers are ridiculous (26/70, well over .300) and co-incide with the Yankees becoming good again.

NL MVP:

Holliday. I love the guy and I totally predicted his onslaught this year.

AL CY:

Sabathia. He's better across the board.

NL CY:

Peavy. Methinks Maddux has had profound influence on him. He's more of a pitcher than a thrower. He's just peaking.

AL ROY:

Pedroia.

NL ROY:

Braun.

AL Manager:

Wedge.

NL Manager:

I was ready to give it to Yost until their collapse, but Melvin takes it.

Alternately, there's been some backlash about Holliday, because of his clean-cut image in an obscure baseball town. But, the way I see it, now's as good a time as ever to annoint a safe role-model for baseball.

Dont see anything about Rooks or Managers listed on MLB.com, but those MVP are "Legacy Awards" sponsored by the Negro League - not the official MVPs.
