Arkham's Child Awards - 2008

This is one of my many annual traditions. Since my agreement with the actual results of the MLB awards voting is usually dubious at best, I put together my personal list. (I use "Best Pitcher" rather than "Cy Young award" just because I feel like it).

Stats for pitchers are (W-L, ERA, IP) for starters and (SV-SVO, ERA, IP) for closers; stats for position players are (BA, RC/G, PA).

National League:

• Most Valuable Player: CL Brad Lidge - PHI (41-41, 1.65, 69.2)
  
• Best Pitcher: SP Tim Lincecum - SFG (18-5, 2.62, 227)
  
• Rookie of the Year: SP Chris Volstad - FLA (6-4, 2.88, 84.2)

American League:

• Most Valuable Player: C Joe Mauer - MIN (.328, 6.9, 633)
  
• Best Pitcher: SP Roy Halladay - TOR (20-11, 2.78, 246)
  
• Rookie of the Year: 3B Evan Longoria - TBR (.272, 6.6, 508)
