Makes you wonder why St Louis wasn't in the World Series.

 

[Ace Bandage]

- Worthless players who need to be traded or released: Milton Bradley, Aaron Miles, Kosuke Fukudome, Geovany Soto, and Rich Harden.
- Hotheaded pitchers who never produce: Carlos Zambrano.
- Player I'd like to see ran over multiple times with a steamroller: Alfonso Sorianao, what a useless, lazy son of a bitch you are.
- Coach who is past his prime and needs replaced: Sweet Lou

Yep, that about covers it. I'm ready for Spring Training. There's always next year...

My changes:
AL MVP - Joe Mauer or Derek Jeter possibly for a lifetime achievement award kind of thing.
AL Cy Young - Zach Greinke he was the best pitcher in the AL if not all of baseball.
AL Manager goes to maybe Girardi because of East Coast bias and most wins in of any team this season, or Scioscia because of holding that team together after losing Nick Adenhart.
Pujols can be MVP until he retires.
NL Manager - Jim Tracy he somehow managed to bring back the Rockies from the dead after their terrible start.
NL Cy Young - Three man race between Carpenter, Wainwright, and Lincecum in that order. Its hard to choose from the Cardinals guys, Wainwright with the wins and solid ERA (Gold Glove to boot as well) Carpenter being dominant leading in ERA. Of course I want Lincecum to win back to back but it aint happening.

Oh yeah Greinke how could I forget him? What a season for a really lousy team. Good catch! Tracy is a good suggestion as well. :thumbsup:

NL Cy Young - Wainwright / Carpenter (tie)
AL Cy Young - Greinke (should be a lock)
NL MVP Pujols (stone cold lock)
AL MVP - Mauer (stone cold lock)
NL Rookie - JA Happ
AL Rookie - Porcello
NL Manager - Jim Tracy
AL Manager - Gardenhire
NL reliever - Broxton
AL reliever - Mariano Rivera

God, it's though. I'd really like to see Joe Mauer win the AL MVP, but I can't complain if Jeter gets it either. And that pains me to say as a Red Sox fan.

 

[hotslutsrgood]

as myself being a yankee fan i hope that Joe Giradi doesnt get the AL Manger award.
I found he made to many silly mistakes like who could forget ALCS game 5.

 

[24788]

Everyone knows Joe Mauer and Ron Gardenhire are two of the best low payroll guys. I just love seeing Joe Mauer produce and Gardenhire manage. Gardenhire is a hot headed sob, but a nice guy in the end.

I think Joe Mauer will be a close call if he's in or not.

 

[StanScratch]

I think Greinke should win the Cy Young, but I have a feeling he will not. Wins are "sexy", and 16 wins will not be "sexy" enough for the writers.
