Utley Robbed in MVP Voting
(Photo by: Chuck Solomon/SI) Albert Pujols was unanimously named the National League MVP, and rightfully so. He was the most valuable player in the league. The BBWAA voters did a decent job this year of giving the hardware to the right players. Pujols, Joe Mauer, Tim Lincecum, and Zack Greinke were all no-brainers to me and the two rookies of the year (Chris Coghlan and

Law and Carroll Rock the Vote
The BBWAA announced the National League Cy Young Award winner today. Tim Lincecum narrowly beat out both Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainright. Lincecum recieved 11 1st place votes, 12 2nd place, and 9 3rd place (100 total points). Carpenter recieved 9 1st place, 14 2nd place, and 7 3rd place (94 total).

Expect a Bigger Season From Kinsler in 2010
Ian Kinsler set some personal milestones in 2009. He set career highs in homers (31), stolen bases (31), WAR (4.6), UZR/150 (+9.6), fielding percentage (.985), games played (144), plate appearances (640), and at-bats (566). A fantastic season by any accounts, even with his slash line of .253/.327/.488 being down from the previous season. Oh, and his 30/30 season was only the third ever by a second baseman (Alfonso Soriano and Brandon Phillips are the other two). Not much room to go up from there, right? W

There is No Justice When it Comes to Gold Glove Awards
The 2009 Gold Glove Award winners have been announced. *Sigh*. I’ve made it known that I believe the Gold Glove Awards are a joke and I know I am not alone. I want to believe that the award will one day actually go to the best fielders. I hold hope. Well, 2009 was not a year the award took a step forward. In fact, it took a step back, which is very hard to do. Here are all the 2009 winners with my notes on each: C &#

Gregory Shamus/Getty Images Here are my typical, short and sweet, College ball analysis tailor-made for those with A.D.D. Welcome to week 11. What I’d like to see: -An Alabama or Florida game without a noticeably controversial call. -While I’m on those 2, I’d like to get to the SEC Championship game already. With no upsets this year so far, and a weak schedule for Florida, it’s not easy
