AL MVP: Alex Rodriguez This is probably the most obvious of all the awards. A-Rod has been absolutely ridiculous this year. He is 14th in the AL in batting average, 4th in OBP, 1st in slugging, 2nd in OPS (to Ortiz). First in HRs (20% higher than the next guy), RBIs (11% higher than #2), Runs scored (16% better than #2), and total bases (6% more than Magglio). 7th in walks. 2nd in hit by pitches. 12th in stolen bases, 6th in stolen base %.

As for the sabermetric stats, he leads in

Runners-up: Magglio Ordonez, David Ortiz

AL Cy Young: CC Sabathia This was really really really close, but I have to give a slight nod to Sabathia here. He's 5th in the AL in ERA (Beckett is 6th), he hasnt missed a start this season (he's made 3 more starts than Beckett), he leads the AL in innings pitched (34 more than Beckett), he's 4th in Ks (Beckett is 6th), and he's only walked 36 batters, which is ridiculous (Beckett has walked 40, which is also excellent). Sabathia is slightly ahead of Beckett in WHIP. The only stat that Beckett leads Sabathia in is Wins, and you guys should know by now that I think wins and losses is a stupid stat.

Sabathia is second among AL pitchers in VORP (Beckett is 3rd), 3rd in a crazy stat called SNLVAR (which estimates team wins in the pitcher's starts, assuming each pitcher had the same run support and bullpen support...Beckett is 6th), 1st in Win Shares, and 3rd in win probability added (Beckett is 5th)

One other thing...potential base-stealers stole at a 70% success rate against Beckett, but only 47% against Sabathia.

It's close, but I gotta go with Sabathia.

Runners-up: Josh Beckett, Fausto Carmona

I'll be back with the other 4 awards later...it's breakfast time
