My picks
AL: Granderson (unbias pick) He and Jacoby Ellsbury are the 2 frontrunners for the award imo but the ultimate determining factor is the Sox didn't get in the playoffs.
AL Cy Young: easily Justin Verlander
NL MVP: Matt Kemp..even though his team aint make the playoffs he was I think 1 HR away from 40/40 (40 Hr's, 40 steals), he led the NL in RBIs, and was 3rd in batting average. Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder also deserve to be in the discussion though.
NL Cy young: thats probably the closest vote of em all between Clayton Kershaw, Ian Kennedy, and maybe Roy Halladay or Cliff Lee....but I give the edge to Kershaw which now that I'm actually lookin at the stats he should get it easily leading the NL in Innings pitched, ERA and Strikeouts.
crazy how the NL mvp and cy young might both go to people on the same losing team

AL MVP : Granderson ......co-sign the deciding factor being that the sox didnt get in
AL Cy Young - Justin Verlander (no need to even break this down)
NL MVP - Ryan Braun ...yes Kemp had some monster numbers but Braun wasnt that way far off Kemps and his team made the playoffs and Braun also played a great left field as well
Braun doing .332 , 33 HR's , 33 SB's , 111 RBI's , and 109 Runs scored while making the playoffs gives him the edge
NL Cy Young - Ian Kennedy i was gonna pick i didnt see the D-Backs making this much noise, espeially after they lost Drew at SS , Kennedy has a ERA at 2.88 , NL tying 21 wins .......but but im going with Kershaw ERA was at 2.28 and had 50 more K's than Kennedy and also opponents hit 20 points less against kershaw than kennedy..and also has a lower WHIP -
Any ? a fan of j.cole is a homosexual

This ? Ian Kennedy was garbage for my squad but goes to the NL and becomes Greg maddux.
He's the Cy young though -
Cliff Lee might be a darkhorse though...they got the #1 record...he's 17-8, 2.40 era, 238k's and 6 shutouts
