This is the third consecutive year for the Blogger awards. and I'm back in the saddle after not submitting a ballot in 2008. It's a fun look back at the past year. The final results of the voting will be put up at Dan's site at some point; I wouldn't expect it to happen tomorrow, but most likely by Thanksgiving. So, on to the voting: 1. Cardinal Player of the Year - Albert Pujols . Could there be any...

Let's take a look at the NL ROY results, released yesterday. If you missed it, here is how the voting went: I'm not surprised that Chris Coughlan won as much as I am Colby Rasmus got one vote. ONE. For third place. As I noted in the Gold Glove post, Rasmus played the best defensive CF of anyone in the NL last season. You'd think he'd garner more than one vote. For argument's sake, what's the WAR ranking...

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 -...

The annual traveshamockery that are the Gold Glove awards has crawled out from under a rock for the season just finished. While there's nothing quite as pitiful as last year's award to Nate McLouth - or the American League giving Derek Jeter another Gold Glove - these do tend to fly in te face of just about every established advanced fielding metric. The following table lists who "should"...

With the AL Gold Gloves announced on Tuesday, it's time to project the NL awards - especially since they will be announced today. I'll keep this simple. Based on UZR/150, here are the best defenders at their positions for 2009. All data is from Fangraphs.com. 1B - Derrek Lee , Cubs (4.7). AP was 5th with a 0.8. 2B - Chase Utley , Phillies (11.3). He was tied with Freddy Sanchez, but Sanchez only played...

The general managers get together starting today in Chicago. While this is a preview of the big “winter meetings” that will be held next month in Indianapolis, there’s not expected to be much of a ripple made in the offseason pond from this gathering. Joe Strauss sets the scene not only for these meetings, but for the whole offseason in his article today . The Cardinals are going...

Various St. Louis media types were recently asked to provide their thoughts for a column in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch about the future of Rick Ankiel as a Cardinal, since the emergence of rookie Colby Rasmus likely means that the free agent will not be re-signed by the team. Honestly I could not care less about [...]

At least according to TotalZone. I ran these ratings from a different datasource than usual. Specifically, someone sent me files with data from MLBAM. Later in the offseason I'll compare it to the results from the source of all the other TotalZone ratings, the retrosheet files. Anyway, the top 15 runs saved for 2009: 1. Franklin Gutierrez, CF, +28 2. Nelson Cruz, RF, +23 3. Chone Figgins, 3B, +20 4....

I have to be brief here, because even as the VEB counter starts registering today's hits I am sitting in an airport in Springfield, waiting to go to Chicago, waiting to go to Japan. But I was sent this year's Bill James Handbook projections in the mail, and in the offseason, well, what else are we going to talk about?
