The Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) award finalists for 2013 Rookie of the Year, Cy Young and Most Valuable Player were announced Tuesday night on MLB Network. For the most part, I agree with the finalists; but there are a few I’m surprised about.
Here are the finalists, with who I have winning (click their names to find out why):
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR FINALISTS
American League: Chris Archer, Jose Iglesias and Wil Myers
National League: Jose Fernandez, Shelby Miller and Yasiel Puig
I have Wil Myers and Jose Fernandez winning the Rookie of the Year award.
CY YOUNG FINALISTS
American League: Yu Darvish, Hisashi Iwakuma and Max Scherzer
National League: Jose Fernandez, Clayton Kershaw and Adam Wainwright
I have Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw winning the Cy Young award.
MOST VALUABLE PLAYER FINALISTS
American League: Miguel Cabrera, Chris Davis and Mike Trout
National League: Paul Goldschmidt, Andrew McCutchen and Yadier Molina
I have Chris Davis and Paul Goldschmidt winning the Most Valuable Player award.
The winner of each award will be announced next week on MLB Network. Here’s the schedule:
AL & NL Rookie of the Year: November 11th
AL & NL Cy Young: November 13th
AL & NL Most Valuable Player: November 14th
As stated in a previous blog post, I plan on posting a recap of each winner, along with a look at how well I did with my predictions, in a blog entry after each award is officially announced. So be sure to check back for that . . . .
