1996 Awards

Rookie of the Year
AL: Scott Rolen
NL: Nomar Garciaparra

Cy Young Award
AL: Paul Byrd
NL: Pedro Astacio

MVP
AL: Jeff Bagwell
NL: Larry Walker

Top players at each position (according to me, but usually it is the guy leading in WAR)

AL
C: Craig Biggio
1B: Jeff Bagwell
2B: Jeff Blauser
3B: Scott Rolen
SS: Alex Rodriguez
LF: Ryan Klesko
CF: Andruw Jones
RF: Moises Alou
P: Paul Byrd
P: Chuck Finley

NL
C: Mike Piazza
1B: John Olerud
2B: Brent Gates (2B was weak this year, especially in the NL)
3B: Edgardo Alfonzo
SS: Nomar Garciaparra
LF: Tony Longmire
CF: Jim Edmonds
RF: Larry Walker
P: Steve Cooke
P: Pedro Astacio

Note: Alex Rodriguez has lost much of his hitting ability already, he is roughly a league average hitter. However, he also has by far the best defense in the league, so he is still really good.
