With the World Series in full swing I figured I would post my version of Major League Baseball’s year-end awards. Probably should have done this a few weeks ago but better late than never. And by the way, I don’t care about that whole “MVPs should be on playoff teams” bull. If a player’s on a bad team, and still putting up monster numbers, chances are he’s more valuable to his team.
