NL MVP: J Rollins
AL Cy Young: J Beckett
NL Cy Young: J Peavy
AL ROY: D Pedroia
NL ROY: T Tulowitzki

AL Manager of Year: M Scioscia (Angels)
NL Manager of Year: M Acta (Nats)

AL Champ: Boston Red Sox
NL Champ: Chicago Cubs

WS Champ: Boston Red Sox

It would be sweet to see the Cubs get to the WS, but as a diehard fan I don't see ti happening.

If the Cubs can't win it, my 2nd choice would be the amazing Rockies.

Yeah, Tulowitzki and Holliday are unreal but Rockies pitching is an abomination. I still think of the days when the Rockies had Gallaraga, Bichette, Helton, Larry Walker, Vinny Castilla. Every game Coors Field was like a NASA launching pad.

AL Cy Young: CC Sabathia. I still say Beckett was better this season.
NL ROY: Ryan Braun. Edged Tulowitzki by 2 points on the ballot. He can hit a baseball. Tulowitzki was a better fielder though.
AL ROY: Pedroia. No Brainer.
