AL MVP- Josh Hamilton- Even though his season was cut short, he still put up triple crown numbers for half the year and finished the season with the batting average crown.
NL- Joey Votto- Votto bursted into the scene, as he challenged fellow NL Central rival Albert Pujols for most batting categories. Plus, getting the Big Red Machine to the playoffs helps too.
AL Cy Young- David Price- Felix Hernandez has been getting a lot of hype for this, but i go with Price. 19-6 and and ERA under 3 goes a long way for the 25 year old ace.
NL- Halladay- The Phillies got exactly what they wanted when they traded for him in the off season, as he had 9 complete game, 4 of which were shut outs, for the NL East Champions Phillies.
AL Rookie of the year- Austin Jackson- Jackson soared to a scorching hot start, but has cooled off considerably since. He has been a nice piece to take Curtis Granderson's spot, as 27 SB was tops for rookies in the AL.
NL- Buster Posey- All he's done is hit .305 with 18 HR, and taken over the catching duties as a true rookie.
AL Manager of the Year- Joe Maddon-He's got the young Rays back into the postseason, and trying to bring home the big one.
NL- Dusty Baker-Brought the usual NL central cellar team up from the dead, and developed a young, deep starting pitching staff.
AL Comeback player: Francisco Liriano- After a stud rookie year, Liriano hasn't been the same thanks to injury. This year, he won 14 games and lead the Twins against the Yanks in the first round.
NL- Jose Reyes- He rebounded nicely from an injury year last year, and was one of the bright spots on the Mets this year.
