AL Awards predictions

MVP - Curtis Granderson
Not that he deserves it. Justin does.

Cy Young - Justin Verlander

Rookie - Mark Trumbo

Manager - Joe Maddon
This was close with Jimmy

Tigers Silver Sluggers
Miguel Cabrera
Victor Martinez
Alex Avila

Tigers Gold Glove
Jhonny Peralta
Alex Avila

 

[doc08]

MVP is tough to call. But, I will go with JV for obvious reasons.
Cy = JV
ROY = ?
Manager is Jimmy Leyland. His team over achieved this year IMO. I had them as an 85 win team and finishing second in their division behind Chicago.
Silver Sluggers = I agree with your picks but consider Peralta as well
Gold Glove = Avila for sure. Not JP

 

[hellifino]

MVP Co JV/Cabrera
ROY Eric Hosmer
Manager, that's a toss up between Maddon and Jimmy Baseball.

I considered Peralta but I think Asdrubal Cabrera will get it at SS.

I don't thinkLeyland can be close to maddon...Maddon had the top half of his team chopped off last year for salary reasons, played in the AL East with the Sox and Yankees and STILL made the playoffs. I don't think there is any question he is the MOY.

 

[beez]

MVP should be between Ellsbury and Cabby I think.

AVG

JE- .321 (5th)
MC- .344 (leads league)

HR

JE- 32 (5th)
MC-30 (10th)

RBI-

JE-105 (6th)
MC- 105 (6th)

SB

JE- 39 (However he was caught 15 times)
MC-(not top 10)

Runs

JE-119 (3rd)
MC-111 (4th)

Hits-
Je- 212 (Leads league)
MC- 197 (5th)

MC- 48 (leads league)

Slug

Je-.552 (6th)
MC- .586 (2nd)

OBP

JE-.376 (not top 10)
MC- .448 (leads league)

OPS-

JE- .928 (5th in the league)
MC-1.033 (2nd in the league)

JE leads the league in extra base hits and total bases. He struck out 98 times while walking 52.

MC- Grounded into the 2nd most dps this year. He struck out 89 times while walking 108.

Based on these numbers I THINK I'll give the nod to Miggy.

Tigers Silver Sluggers
Miguel Cabrera

MVP: Curtis. I don't think Cano will siphon enough votes away to throw it to someone else.

CY: JV

Rookie: Hellickson (I know Trumbo has the Trumbombs)

Manager: I bet Maddon does win it.

Comeback: Ellsbury (no-brainer)

Silver Sluggers:
Cabrera
Victor
Alex
Inge
Raburn
Santiago

Gold Gloves:
None (just my prediction....)

 

[Mitchrapp]

I'm wondering if the Fister aquisition hurt JV chances? Because it wasn't a one man show any longer. Nonetheless, being a pos. player, Miggy is deserving more, maybe, by a little bit. And don't disagree with Grandy. Somehow he'll win it. Or they're vote for a guy from Boston. Now that would be a shame, they choked big time.

When you look at it like this, I see Miggy with the big ones (no jokes) Over 20 points better on average, smokes him on OBP and OPS.

I see what you did there...

 

[manchild98]

I think Boston missing the playoffs and gagging away September cost JE the MVP.

 

[buddyboy2121]

MVP- i think JV deserves it and it isnt close, but a yankee or red sox will win it. joey bautista will get some votes from those stats freaks though.

CY- JV
ROY- Hellickson

Silver sluggers- cabby, vmart, peralta, and avila
Gold glove- avila and peralta

MVP - Justin Verlander

Granderson will not win it, he is one of 3 Yankees in the top 4 for RBIs this year. He is barely batting .262! Ryan Raburn is batting .256

Just because Granderson has a short porch to hit HRs to and a great lineup to bat in doesn't mean he is MVP. I believe it was Dave Birkett that figured out that he would have 24 less HRs if he played in Comerica. If Granderson is the MVP, then call Adam Dunn he is owed 3-4 MVPs for the past in the NL.

Obviously all the Red Sox players are now out of it after the choke job.

 

[Mitchrapp]

How can you barely hit .262? You either are or you aren't

Some how this is an exaggeration.

Granderson Career Comerica = 33.93 PA/HR

Granderson Career Yankee Std = 17.31 PA/HR

All other ball parks = 23.08 PA/HR


He had 691 PA this year, 332 at home and 359 away.

332 / 17.31 = 19 HR

359 / 23.08 = 16 HR

Career assumes 35 HR at Yankee Stadium

332 / 33.93 = 10 HR

Career assumes 26 HR at Comerica


How is this even close to 24 HR less?

How is this even close to 24 HR less?

Maybe they took the actual length of his homeruns at Yankee Stadium and put those same ball in Comerica? Still not a perfect way to measure but just my guess.

I think the only way to judge it would be to take every Tigers game and see if Grandy hit a hr that day. Then measure that hr against the field Detroit was on for that game. That seems like the most logical way right? I know the biggest thing is it would be a different pitcher throwing to him but there's no way around that.

 

[zoombabyzoom]

Don't ask me I didn't figure out the numbers I just listed them. Though maybe he has the numbers wrong you can't argue that a shorter distance to hit a HR may boost a players HR totals and RBI totals.

Plus, voters like players doing well down the stretch. His September .205 3 HRs 12 RBIs 25K/10BB

Also, Granderson's average if he won the MVP would be the lowest in the history of baseball for a MVP.

 

[pr0tege]

I would not be surprised by a Tigers clean sweep to be honest.

MVP - Miguel Cabrera - I think the last month pushed Cabrera's name into serious consideration.

CY Young - Justin Verlander - No Brain-er really.

Manager - Jim Leyland - I think winning the division like we did will play a big role in the voting for this. I think something that will play into the voting is that JL fired his pitching coach mid-season and since that firing the Tigers are 50-27.

since that firing the Tigers are 50-27

Good stat. Never knew that although obviously I knew they were better. Although you can credit a lot of that to Doug E Fresh too.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I don't know how many HR Granderson would have at Comerica or anywhere else but I've seen 7-8 of his home runs get in the first, 2nd or 3rd row in right. And there could be more. Those are popups to me. Anywhere else would drop his average and his production numbers. So you can throw out home and away stats, it doesn't mean beans.
