2017 Award Winners...
Some quick observations..
I didn't change any winners. I swapped Gomez for Bryant at 2-3, Gave Cruz the 3rd spot in the Koufax (was arguing for the 2nd) and added Thomas in the RotY for the CL over Saucedo.
The Rivera was a runaway for Cruz and Barlow, as Barlow was perfect in saves again. Two relievers, Raymond Peters (10-4) and Tom Conklin (11-4) jumped way up with double digit wins.
Pedro Salinas, tried to make an MVP case but Hudson had a slightly better season, and was an outstanding defender at 2nd. Salinas is a DH in waiting at 1st.
Chavez somewhat 'tailed off' but had a great year.
And how about Tulsa, wow, 3 players in the top 5? And 2 starters in the VORP top 5? Them losing was a huge upset.
Buffalo looks to be a team on the move, 3 of the top 5 WAR rookies. And Tulsa's adding another budding star in Jose Rodriguez, just a well run franchise that can spot talent.
Andrew Jones moves to RF and wins another Gold Glove. Ichiro takes one home.
