Angels receive ESPN Midseason Awards

[Michifan]

But it's not the awards fans would like. Hamilton receives least valuable player and Blanton is named Cy Yuk.

Nothing new to see for Angel fans

Surprised there wasn't a category for most surprising team, and most disappointing team.  Although for the AL, it's still a toss up between the Angels and Blue Jays.

awards well deserved

At least Hamilton is showing signs. I think Blanton's good couple of games was a fluke and he's back to throwing meatballs.

Wade Davis has been the worst pitcher in the AL. But I can see why Blanton was selected.

Good to see the Nigtmare Child was recognized.

Cashman get the Humanitarian Award for STFU A-Rod!

Geez. I didn't realize Blanton was that bad. He is on a whole new level of suck

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Did Josh Hamilton wake up one morning and decide it was some kind of brilliant idea to start taking a whack at basically every pitch he saw? That's never a real sound plan, but it pretty much describes his approach at the plate for most of this season. And look where it has carried him -- right to the LVP medal stand.

 

Well put.

"And he's 0-for-Anaheim (0-for-27 as an Angel, with 17 whiffs) against left-handed relievers!"

 

Wow.
