Kept the MVP in the D

16.11.2012 87 comments

Miguel Cabrera is your 2012 AL MVP. What was billed to be a neck and neck battle between Old School and New School turned out to be Cabrera in a laugher, as he took 22 of 28 first place votes, and handily beat Trout with 362 points to 281 points. I sat in on the [...]

Justin Verlander for (edit: IS) MVP

21.11.2011 4 comments

Vote is coming out today at 2pm, and MLB.tv will have live coverage beginning at 1:30pm eastern. Rob Neyer would vote Jacob Ellsbury #1 and JV 5th. (When did Neyer move to SBNation from ESPN.com? When did SBNation become a legitimate sports news source?) Buster Olney writes that JV will get the most first place [...]

There’s gonna be more in the coming days, but JV was named the Players Choice Player of the Year for 2011. Besides having the most confusing name, this award is the top award bestowed by an all player vote, and produced for the MLB Network during a slow content period. It’s not the Cy Young [...]

12.11.2010 15 comments

Miguel Cabrera won his third Silver Slugger award today, and joined Albert Pujols in the distinction of winning it at three positions (remember he predominantly played OF for the Marlins when he first came up).

Polanco gets some Gold Love

10.11.2009 2 comments

At least one Tiger is assured of some post season hardware. Placido Polanco won his second Gold Glove for excellence in the field of fielding. Polanco had a very fine defensive season and he was one of a handful of players (Mark Ellis, Dustin Pedroia, Aaron Hill) who were deserving at second base.

Junk Balling – All Star break edition

12.07.2009 5 comments

A pile of links on the eve of the All Star break… If you find yourself a little bored with the Tigers game today, you can always flip over to ESPN and catch Scott Sizemore, the lone Tigers representative in the All Star Future’s game. With Polanco on the last year of his contract and [...]

Vote Early, Vote Often, Vote Inge

15.06.2009 55 comments

The campaigning has been going on since April when teams started to promote their players for the All Star Game. On basic principle I try to wait until at least June before filling out a ballot. So much changes so quick early in the season and hot starts can be misleading. But, with 60 games [...]

Each baseball blog at SB Nation received 2 ballots, and with Bless You Boys being a solo operation, Ian was kind enough to let me vote his second ballot. Today [...]
