IMHO there are already enough awards named after players. The 'age of specialization' lends itself to even more possibilities: Best set-up man; best seventh inning reliever; best OF performing in a platooned roll; etc. etc.
Statues are another thing - I'm not sure if Burger King has one in the works for me yet.
Too much celebrating for just performing whether as a player or an eater.
They have their piles of money and they can make their own statues - as Ivan Rodriguez has in his back yard (S.I. story).
