Nook Logan with the Gold Glove! He was a nice surprise for me this year. I would have liked to see him play all year (he missed a month because of injury). Maybe we would have finished with a better record since he was, by far, my best lead off man and one of the top hitters on my team.

Where is the love for Stephen Drew? Easily ROY... Also, as his GM, I can say for sure that Dan Uggla did NOT deserve consideration.

I'm with you, too. I can't believe Morneau was left out over Wright. Yes, they both had awesome numbers but Morneau took over the #3 spot in the order late in the season and finish in second place in homers.

Wright had outstanding production plus premium defense at a more important position and was far and away the better all around player, which is why his VORP (which is basically what I looked at) was higher.

Same for Uggla, top 3 in VORP for a rookie AND had gold glove defense

I'm not saying that David sucked. He was my best player this year (and got my vote because I was being a good owner). I was just curious why he got picked over Morneau. Thanks for explaining.

Having painfully sat through a full season of looking at Uggla's stats, I can tell you that he sucked until the last month/month and a half when he finished rather strong. Drew was consistently better throughout the year... And the GG, well, that's just mind-blowing.

Well, looks like we're going to have the CPU decide awards because I missed the manual input date... that being said, we'll just pretend we did the AP awards or something... league file update forthcoming
