    Damn, nice. 2 Pieces of hardware for the Astros. It was really a close call between him and Cano, but I think this was the right choice.

    Very much deserved.

    Well deserved. Can anybody tell me why MLB announces their award winners after the season is over?

    Wow, never realized Lance didn't win one. Not surprising with Pujols at 1B, but he was in the OF for five great seasons.

    Kudos to Jose. Besides trout and Adam jones he might be the most exciting player in baseball.
