Your MLB Awards Predictions

[Chuck]

Chuck, he might get your vote but this is a predictions thread. Are you predicting Max gets the Cy Young?

 

 

Yes,

 

Wins are a stupid stat to determine CY Young awards.

Plus he has cool eyes.

Scherzer had an amazing year but he will probably finish 4th, which is pretty amazing.

[Angel Oracle]

The NL has ridiculous pitching.

At first, it makes Harper's 1.100 OPS seem even more remarkable.

But then one sees that he plays in a really bad division (Marlins, Braves, and Phillies).

No wonder that a Terry Collins coached team (Mets) won 90+ games?

While I don't think Trout's pulling off the MVP, Arrieta definitely s the Cy Young. 22 wins is too much not to give it to him.

Why are you quoting something that I never said?

Its a really really weird park..   The wind patterns tend to make for some really odd fluctuations from year to year (sometimes from day to day) -- Dodger Stadium has shown a similar tendency to have oddball seasons while being primarily a pitcher park..   Looking at the data at Stats Inc, Wrigley has had several seasons in recent years where it played like a HR park but didn't really influence scoring as much as you would think, resulting in it being a slight pitcher's park.   It had one year where it was a severe hitter's park and yet it had a negative impact on HRs...  Just really oddball stuff.  But for whatever reasons it's most recent three year sample rates it at as a 99 on the 100 being neutral scale.

 

I've been there a few times and the wind did seem to be strong and varying.

AL Comeback POTY: Kendrys Morales (edging out Pay Rod)

NL Comeback POTY: Matt Harvey (edging out Bryce Harper)

I thought Kendry played last year?

[Angel Oracle]

Kendrys played, but had a low .600s OPS in 2014.

[Homebrewer]

Anyone who didn't vote for Arrieta might be second guessing themselves about now.

There is no way that he shouldn't win it.

I thought the award was for players coming back from an injury

[Homebrewer]

" I thought the award was for players coming back from an injury "

Injury, personal problems, a bad year or two...or just overall limpdickness and inability to perform as in previous years

From Wikipedia:

The Major League Baseball Comeback Player of the Year Award was developed in 2005, as part of a sponsorship agreement between MLB and Viagra

[ten ocho recon scout]

I like that viagra sponsors an award for fixing overall limp-dickness as you said
