CY: Tanaka

[familytoad]

AL:

MVP: Betts
CY: Porcello
ROY: Gary Sanchez

NL:

MVP: Bryant
CY: Scherzer

I can't believe I am picking two Red Sox in the AL, but I think they deserve it.
Kinda stuck on NL cy winner, many pitchers are really close...Bumgarner, Hendricks, Lester, Jansen, Fernandez maybe some love for Kershaw or Arrietta.

yeah it's tough, Fernandez is the WAR leader, but Scherzer is right there and I think was the better overall pitcher. Hendricks has a claim too IMO (but I think he and Arrietta will split too many Cub votes for either to win)

Cy Young - Kluber
Rookie - Sanchez


NL: MVP - Murphy
Cy Young - Fernandez
Rookie - Seager

What am I missing in the votes for Trout as the MVP?

Not to mention a guy named Lester at 18-4 and 2.36. Would anyone have believed a couple of months ago that one could legitimately say Arietta was only the third best pitcher on the Cubs?

Where are you getting that? According to ESPN Fernandez isn't even in the top 10
for WAR in the NL, and Scherzer leads.

Arguably, Trout may be the best all around player, but that doesn't translate to him getting the MVP award each year.

The numbers just aren't there this year for Trout.

the only WAR I use : fangraphs

it uses FIP instead of ERA+ and tho pitcher war is nowhere near as solid as batter war, I prefer FIP. ymmv
