MLB Award Predictions

[DodgerKing]

Here is my prediction for the official and unofficial awards for the 2009 NL Seaon.

NL

MVP - Pujols (Cards - no one will even come close to challenging him)
CY - Wainwright (Cards)
Rookie - McCutchen (Pirates) - Poor year for rookies
Comeback - Tulowitzki (Rockies)
Manager - Tracey (Rockies)

Unofficial breakout season - Kemp (Dodgers)

Here is my prediction for the official awards for the 2009 AL Season.

AL

MVP - Mauer (Twins)
CY - Greinke (Royals)
Rookie - Porcello (Tigers)
Comeback - Podsednic (ChiSox)
Manager - Washington (Rangers)

 

[DodgerKing]

What are your predictions?

 

[Jimbo]

I think the Cy Young in the AL could still go a number of ways.
Grenkie, Verlander, Holliday, as well as a few others.

 

[DodgerKing]

The list I created is more based on who I think should win, not necessarily who is going to win. With that said, I will still use it as my prediction as well.

 

[Sparkman]

Overall your picks are pretty good. I think Beckham may have a chance to get AL ROY award from Porcello.

What are you talking about??!! LMAO!!

WHO has the MOST hits by ANY PLAYER since the All Star break....?

Chris Coghlan

WHO leads ALL Rookies in hitting AND OBP and is in the ONLY Rookie to be in the top ten in EVERY SINGLE offensive category??

Chris Coghlan

 

[SabresRule]

It WILL be Coghlan getting the award.

Salsa mentioned his accolades, but don't forget this:

Florida hung around all season, while the Pirates were eliminated from the playoff race on Mother's Day.

Chris Coghlan

McCutchen didn't even play a full season. He wasn't even a starter until they traded away most of their outfield. Expand his numbers over the missing 1/3 of the season (more than that as a full time player) and his numbers are up their with any rookie. Plus he did this playing with no other offensive support.

I can pretty much guarantee he wont win because he is a Pirate (no matter what numbers he put up).

ROY-Porcello(DET)
Manager-Wakamatsu(SEA)

Another good managerial candidate.

NL:

MVP-Pujols(STL)
Cy Young-Lincecum(SF)
ROY-Sandoval(SF)
Manager-Tracy(COL)

Sandoval cannot win the ROY because he in not considered a rookie.
Lincecum may win, but it is hard to win 2 years in a row.

Neither did Coghlan....he was called up on Mother's Day...AND he played ALL season, a position he has NEVER played before...leftfield.

There is really no way anyone should win this award with the stats Coghlan has.

Don't get me wrong, I think Coghlan is also a good choice. I was more reacting to you thinking McCutchen is not.

Lets compare the numbers

                  G      PA    AB      R     H     2B   3B      HR    RBI     SB    CS    BB     SO      BA      OBP     SLG     OPS     OPS+      TB           
 Coghlan         127    560    499    82    159    31    6      9     46       8     4    53     77     .319    .388    .459     .847     124      229    
 McCutchen       107    488    430    74    122    26    9     12     54      20     5    52     83     .284    .361    .470     .830     122      202

I think Porcello gets the ROY award ....
He's 14-9 this year and has pitched in every situation asked of this year.
He's still pitching and in the middle of a pressure packed pennant race.
So much so that the Tigers have him pitching on Tuesday, the biggest game of the year.

 

[DodgerKing]

No one else wants to pick their favorites for the award(s)?

 

[Davedirectv]

I think Porcello gets the ROY in the American League.

I think if you average out that McCutchen kid's numbers, with the at bats Coghlan has, McCutchen would have better numbers. Difference is, he hasn't done it, and the award doesn't go to potential, but what you have done.

So, give it to Coghlan in the National League.

Cy- Greinke, Carpenter
Manager- Washington , I got nothing for the NL.

Mvp- Mauer, Pujols

No real surprised here, just my thoughts.

Edit: forgot abot carpenter, stupid me

 

[KCK_Halo]

OK randomly off the top of my head:

MVP
AL: Jeter or Mauer
NL: Pujols

ROY
AL: Porcello or Beckham
NL: Coghlan

MANAGER OF THE YEAR:
AL: Scoscia (and I'm not being a homer)
NL: Tracy

CY
AL: Greinke
NL: Wainwright or Carpenter

 

[Sparkman]

Cubs Randy Wells might be a darkhorse for NL ROY.

Was suprised Aaron Hill got Comeback over Scotty Pods.
