Another trade with Matty K.
- 500 Home Runs is really impressive.
- English was a 1x First Team All-Pro and 4x Pro Bowl selection.
- Scott was a 2x First Team All-Pro and 3x Pro Bowl selection.
- And he sent me a free Schmidt card that I didn't have. The grift is working.

MVP and Cy Young Award Picks (Top 3)
AL MVP
- .316, .432, .601. 42 HR, 106 RBI, 105 Runs. Not much defense. 7.1 WAR. Houston won the AL West with a .500 record. I usually require a winning record but making the playoffs is more important.
Caminero: .276, .360, .524. 42 HR, 101 RBI, 100 Runs. Played 3B. Didn't miss a game. 5.7 WAR. The Rays won their division.
Vargas: .250, .363, .474. 33 HR, 93 RBI, 22 Steals, 106 Runs. Played 3B. 5.4 WAR. The White Sox made the playoffs.
Kevin McGonigle (Tigers) and Bobby Witt Jr. (Royals) both had Top 3 seasons, but their teams had losing records.
NL MVP
- .280, .372, .570. 45 HR, 107 RBI, 41 Steals, 119 Runs. Played CF. Didn't miss a game. 9.8 WAR. The Cubs made the playoffs.
Turang: .268, .366, .450. 21 HR, 100 RBI, 19 Steals, 102 Runs. Played 2B. 7.3 WAR. The Brewers won their division.
Shohei: .276, .377, .513. 30 HR, 81 RBI, 11 Steals, 89 Runs. 8 - 2, 1.79 ERA. Played DH and pitched. 6.7 WAR. The Dodgers won their division.
Gabriel Moreno made a strong case for third.
AL Cy Young Award
- 14 - 6, 1.95 ERA, 20 Quality Starts, 193 Innings, 7.0 WAR
Gray: 18 - 5, 2.72 ERA, 20 QS, 169 Innings, 4.3 WAR
Rasmussen: 16 - 5, 2.67 ERA, 18 QS, 172 Innings, 4.7 WAR
NL Cy Young Award
- 18 - 7, 2.91 ERA, 22 QS, 207 Innings, 8.1 WAR
Misiorowski: 16 - 5, 1.80 ERA, 18 QS, 174 Innings, 6.5 WAR
Yamamoto: 14 - 9, 2.53 ERA, 22 QS, 185 Innings, 5.9 WAR
Sanchez was robbed by Skenes last year and I expect Mis to win it this year. But I don't have to agree with it.
