AWARDS
AL MVP: Miguel Cabrera, 1B Tigers (Hamilton's injury cost him)
NL MVP: Albert Pujols, 1B Cardinals (won 2 of 3 triple crown categories 1 of 2 actual hitters on 85 win team)
AL CY Young: Felix Hernandez, Mariners (Dominates every category except wins, not his fault his team sucked)
NL CY Young: Roy Halladay, Phillies (Wainwright falls just short because Halladay made the playoffs Wainwright did not)
AL Rookie of the Year: Neftali Feliz Rangers' closer (Dominating closer on playoff team)

POSTSEASON PREDICTION:
ALDS: Rays over Rangers in 5 (Lee wins 1, Rangers steal another, Rays just too good all around)
Yankees over Twins in 5 (Experience and Psychological edge leads to Yanks win)
NLDS: Phillies over Reds in 3 (Big 3 dominate young Reds in sweep)
Giants over Braves in 5 (Lincecum and Cain too much for Braves ending Cox's great career)
ALCS: Rays over Yanks in 6 (Rays depth of pitching overmatches Mauer and the Twins)
NLCS: Giants over Phillies in 6 (Giants pitching cancels out big 3, Giants hot bats carry them)
WORLD SERIES (2-3-2 with NL Homefield)
Rays over Giants in 6 (Rays depth of pitching, lineup and experience lead them to their 1st title) MVP: Longoria.
