The board hive mind correctly predicted 9 out of 14 awards - pretty good!

 

Thanos also correctly predicted 9 winners which was more than anyone else (everyone got at least 6 correct).

We were to predict this? I think I might have on another thread, lol.

BBWAA Award Finalists

 

Rookie Of The Year Finalists...

 

AL: Fulmer/Sanchez and Naquin... Fulmer's got this!

 

NL: Seager/Maeda and Turner... Seager's got this!

 

Manager Of The Year Finalists...(who cares)

 

AL: Francona/Bannister and Showalter... Tito I'd guess.

 

NL: Maddon/Baker and Roberts... Maddon I'd guess.

 

CY Young Finalists

 

AL: Kluber/Porcello and Verlander... Kluber's got this!

 

NL: Scherzer/Hendricks and Lester... Scherzer's got this!

 

Most Valuable Player Award Finalists...

 

AL: Trout/Betts and Altuve... Mike Trout should win this... it likely goes to Betts.

 

NL: Bryant/Murphy and Seager... Bryant's got this!

 

Thoughts on who wins, picks, omissions, etc?

 

lol... relievers were given. Never thought of comeback... R.I.P. Fernandez, what a tough loss to baseball.

Nice job putting this together. If possible, should probably delete mine - mine were a "should" win, not a "will win."

Wow, tied with Hurl for last space. I see that you've decided to skip right to the 'delusional old man' stage of your message board life cycle.

I got 9 right with how I'd vote. I've become a BBWAA member...I give you permission to take me with a shotgun. The new youngest old man in the world can have my DDL team.

I didn't even know I entered a contest

[Boxcar]

No way, Trout won? Awesome day for baseball.

 

Not particularly close, either.

And no one is really talking about the award. There are more people threatening Tampa writers who voted on the Cy still. This is not incentive to get things correct in the future.

[Jonn]

It will be a great day when the Rays finally move for a variety of reasons.

[Boxcar]

I don't get how they can give Ortiz the Hank Aaron as a clear personal gesture (he even got a 1st place MVP vote ffs) but Jose Fernandez doesn't get a single 1st place vote for Cy. Scherzer was worthy at least but come on. Edited November 18, 2016 by Boxcar

TBF Fernandez got the comeback award.

[Atothe]

Poor Verlander, he deserved better

[Jonn]

Poor Verlander, he deserved better

 

He still gets to play with Kate Upton
