In addition to the fine awards calculated by Strat (congratulations, Manager of the Year, Mr. Jake the Drifter!), it seems appropriate for a few more awards.
Rookie of the Year: Albert Pujols, Vermont
Phat Albert debuted in a big way this season, with an extraordinary season (.290, 52 homers, and an insane 175 RBIs!). Surprised he didn't get more love in the MVP voting. Only Chandler Bing had more impact on Vermont than "The Machine"!
