The 2012 MLB Awards will be announced this week. Here is the schedule:
Monday, November 12th: Rookie of the Year
Wednesday, November 14th: Cy Young Award
Thursday, November 15th: MVP
The Amazin' Avenue staff has weighed in with their picks for these awards, most of which are slam dunks. We only voted on winners; a full ballot was not submitted for each award. The sabermetric groupthink isn't full-blown, as just two of the races are unanimous. See below for the picks, with number of votes in parentheses:
AL MVP: Mike Trout (12)
NL MVP: Buster Posey (9), Ryan Braun (2), R.A. Dickey (1)
AL Cy Young: Justin Verlander (11), David Price (1)
NL Cy Young: R.A. Dickey (11), Clayton Kershaw (1)
AL Rookie of the Year: Mike Trout (12)
NL Rookie of the Year: Bryce Harper (11), Wade Miley (1)
