The American League MVP award was announced late yesterday. And while Boston’s Dustin Pedroia took home the title, it’s worth mentioning that two members of the Cleveland Indians received some consideration among the top 15. With 42 points, Grady Sizemore slotted in at number 10. Ahead of him were Pedroia, Justin Morneau, Kevin Youkilis, Joe Mauer, Carlos [...]

…as in Silver Slugger. While all of Wahooland was eagerly anticipating the announcement of Cliff Lee’s AL Cy Young award, another Indian snagged some hardware himself. Center fielder Grady Sizemore now has a bit of silver to go with his Gold Glove. When you look at the stats, it makes perfect sense that Grady would win one [...]

For a season that was such a disappointment as a team, individual members of the Cleveland Indians continue to real in awards. We documented the new awards to hit Cliff Lee’s mantle. And not long thereafter, Franklin Gutierrez nabbed one of his own. And now, it’s time for another Tribe outfielder to garner some recognition as [...]
