Obviously we have about a half month left, but let's take some guesses as to who will win each award. Feel free to list runners-up as well if you wish (I intend to)
NL RoY:
Winner: Jason Heyward (ATL)
Runner-up: Jaime Garcia (STL)
NL Cy Young
Winner: Roy Halladay (PHI)
Runner-up: Adam Wainwright (STL)
NL MVP
Winner: Joey Votto (CIN)
Runner-up: Albert Pujols (STL)
AL RoY:
Winner: Austin Jackson (DET)
AL Cy Young:
Winner: David Price (TB)
Runner-up: CC Sabathia
AL MVP:
Winner: Josh Hamilton (TEX)
Runner-up: Miguel Cabrera (DET)
I'm a Cardinals fan, and I think even though they've had trouble putting up W's regularly, any one of the NL awards could end up going to a Cardinal, but I don't think it'll happen. If there's one with a better chance than others, it's Pujols on reputation, and it'd be hard to argue with that, but I think Votto gets it because his team is going to make the playoffs (barring what would be a spectacular collapse and comeback).
I'm just hoping for Price over Sabathia, because it's always fun to root for the little guy, and Tampa Bay with a pretty middle of the road payroll certainly constitutes being a "little guy" in the AL East.
