Get Up Get Out of Here Gone Season 48 Post-Season Awards

Yount Most Valuable Player:

Runs: 169 Hits: 217 HR: 40 RBI: 86 SB: 28 AVG: .351 OBP: .458 SLG: .612 OPS: 1.070 This is an out-of-the-box choice for MVP until you examine the numbers closely. 169 runs is a single-season record that has stood since season one. Yes, I know runs depend on your teammates, but Maya set the table at an unheard-of clip as a leadoff batter. Maya often gets overlooked by the great Ruben Lee and the other offensive firepower on Cleveland, but he makes the offense go and is versatile in where he plays in the field. He has won a silver slugger award in five of the past six years at three different positions. Maya is locked up through season 50 at a relatively modest $9.9M per year.

Yount Cy Young:

Games: 57 Games Started: 35 W-L: 23-12 Inn: 283.1 BB: 87 SO: 243 WHIP: 1.27 ERA: 3.72 It wasn't El Caballo's best season statistically, but his numbers are hard to ignore as it is easy to normalize Pickford and hard to judge him because he is so different than the other three (Lesher, Kline, and Owen). Somehow, Pickford was only worth $1.3M in his first year of arbitration, perhaps because there is no comp in WIS for what he does. What will his long-term contract demands be? If he ever hits the open market, he is a lock for the max contract. Yount Rookie of the Year:

Games: 34 Games Started: 34 W-L: 17-9 Inn: 231.1 BB: 64 SO: 209 WHIP: 1.02 ERA: 2.61 This was a tough call, as Wally Truman "Show" was plucked off Rule 5 by the Rangers and went for 42 bombs and 141 RBI while playing in the field for the first time in his Yount career at 1B. While Truman was a beast at the plate, Pena, traded during the year from the Blue Jays, put up a top-five WAR season at the age of 23 and looks poised to join the big four pitchers as they continue to age. Yount Fireman of the Year:

Games: 51 Saves: 41 W-L: 3-0 Inn: 50.1 BB: 13 SO: 37 WHIP: 0.74 ERA: 0.89 The game was over when Nickle came in, as he was stingy on baserunners and runs. He only allowed one home run in his over fifty innings, which contributed to his video-game numbers. Nickle is a big reason the Yankees remain near the top of the AL. Yount All-Pros Catcher
