MLB's merry awards season carried on its campaign to give a bunch of virtually meaningless baubles to players by awarding the AL Rookie of the Year award to Oakland's Andrew Bailey and the NL award to Florida's Chris Coghlan. Using some of the same metrics that Dan Levy trotted out for his looks at the Silver Slugger and Gold Gloves , I examined the picks to determine whether Bailey and Coghlan were...

Browse more photos » When I posted the results of the SBNation voting for various awards last week, I also posted the BCB ballots and the results of the voting. I thought that was a courtesy to you, the reader, and also informative. The BBWAA, apparently, feels differently, or maybe it's MLB's fault...
I think they're on the verge of announcing the N.L. Rookie of the Year and Randy Wells was in the running for most of the season. Ultimately I don't think he'll get more than a few third place votes from the Chicago writers and I don't have much time to put together a full analysis, so I'm just going to lazily look at WAR values over at Fangraphs. Randy Wells - 3.0 Garrett Jones - 2.6 J.A. Happ -...

American League Rookie of the Year The favorite: Elvis Andrus (Texas) The contenders: Rick Porcello (Detroit), Jeff Niemann (Tampa Bay), Brett Anderson (Oakland), Andrew Bailey (Oakland), Gordon Beckham (Chicago) The dark horses: [...] Click on...
As the week approaches, it is time to hand out more hardware to the players and coaches of Major League Baseball. The week and awards is as follows: ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AL (Monday): Shortstop Elvis Andrus was pretty much as advertised. But Detroit's Rick Porcello won 14 games and was a stalwart starter on a playoff team at age 20. Tampa Bay's Jeff Niemann, Oakland's Brett Anderson and Andrew Bailey...
by Bill Kostroun - AP David Price has seemingly gone incognito from the public expectations. View full size photo » It sure seems strange to be writing this. A year ago, David Price was on the cover of every pre-season baseball preview. The former #1 overall pick's triumphant pose following the 2008 ALCS was etched into history and people were projecting him as the 2009 staff ace. D Rays Bay...

This week, we're posting the results for each of Major League Baseball's regular season awards, as voted upon by the SB Nation baseball bloggers. (Each site gets two ballots; Mack Avenue Tigers ' Kurt Mensching helped me out with a vote.) Today's announcement is for the 2009 Rookie of the Year balloting. This is the one award a Tigers player may have had his best chance with. How did Detroit's Kid...

by Nam Y. Huh - AP Randy Wells had a fine rookie year and finished sixth in SBN rookie balloting. View full size photo » Count me as one of those surprised at the SBN Rookie of the Year balloting. Neither J.A. Happ nor Chris Coghlan , the two players named at the top of the BCB ballots, won. Tommy Hanson is a deserving recipient, no doubt, but I was sure that Happ was going to win. The third-place...
