AL ROY - Carlos Correa
NL ROY - Kris Bryant

AL MOY - AJ Hinch
NL MOY - Joe Maddon

Surprise? No Gold Gloves for the reds (Brandon Phillips, Billy Hamilton).

I could see Phillips over Gordon, but not Billy over Pollock. Pollock is ridiculous.

Disappointed that 4 months in the AL was good enough for Cespedes over Alex Gordon, who is the best LF in baseball in the past decade and possibly longer.

Keep an eye on Kevin Keirmeier, that dude might win the GG in CF for the next 10 years.

MVP Picks- Trout/Harper...I think Trout wins to build a narrative between him and Harper
Cy Young- Price/Arrieta
ROY- Lindor/Bryant
MoY- Hinch/Maddon

[Chieftain2009]

Keirmaier definitely a stud in CF for the AL. I believe Billy Hamilton the only CF in the NL not to make an error the whole year which is why I was surprised. Phillips has been the best 2B defensively in baseball over the last decade and only has like 3 Gold Gloves to show for it.
