Season 57 Player Awards

The playoffs are underway and that means it's award voting season! Below are my thoughts on the ballot and my picks for each award. I'll be updating throughout the playoffs as I have time. AL MVP Al Perez (1B)  - 55 HR / 1.069 OPS / 3 SB Tony Martin (2B)  - 29 HR / 1.027 OPS / 65 SB Will Adkinson (RF)  - 41 HR / 1.082 OPS / 40 SB Shouta Wang (3B)  - 18 HR / .925 OPS / 69 SB Tommy Mullins (CF)  - 36 HR / .890 OPS / 19 SB This list includes 3 players from Albuquerque after a season that saw them put up 71 more Runs than any other team! I think this is really a 3 man race with Wang and Mullins on the outside. Both had excellent seasons, with Wang's 69 SB and 23+ Plays at 3B really standing out, but the top 3 players on this list really stood out. The choice between Perez, Martin, and Adikson is really a matter of what you value. Perez has the classic power numbers, with a league leading 55 HR and 158 RBI. Martin made good on his max contract by putting up a boat load of SB

  Season 60 marks the 10th season for Owner Whitetail96 and his Pittsburgh Whitetails in Clemens*. The first 7 of those seasons where uneven to say the least, finishing dead least in the NL East each season. However, even with all the losing, it was clear the Whitetails had a plan to build a sustainable team through the draft.  In Season 58 the Whitetails jumped to 88 wins and a Wildcard birth. The team failed to advance out of the Play-In round but momentum was building. Last season the team jumped to 92 wins, won the Franchise's first division title since Season 47, before bowing out in the NLDS. Heading into Season 60 the team had established itself as a good team but clearly needed some additions to make a deep playoff run. The offseason started with three key contract extensions. First the team signed ace SP  Esteban Moya  to a 5 year deal with an annual salary of $6.8 Million. Moya hasn't had an All-Star Team yet, but his career 3.42 ERA and 1.23 WHIP are strong and this
