As an addition to this thread - who do you think will win the individual awards? Here's my guess (more on who deserves it than who will get it):
AL MVP: Brett Boone. He's kept the M's lineup going, even while Ichiro has struggled. He does it all - hits, hits for clutch, plays very good defense, even runs well. Nomar and Frank Thomas have been very good, but I'd give it to Boone.
NL MVP: Barry Bonds. He's carried that lineup, without him they just aren't the same. Pujols (my preseason pick) has been amazing, but take Bonds out of the Giants lineup and they're a completely different team.
AL Rookie of the Year: Rocco Baldelli. Matsui has been great, but he's NOT A ROOKIE. After playing all that time in Japan, he's a bona fide vet. Baldelli has been the very good at his first shot in the bigs playing on an awful Tigers team. Jody Gerut has had a good year too, but I'd vote for Baldelli.
NL Rookie of the Year: Brandon Webb. He's helped carry the Arizona rotation while Randy and Curt were hurt. He's been consistently solid all year, he gets my vote.
AL Cy Young: Roy Halladay. The Blue Jays are out of contention, but he's been sick, no doubt in my mind he should win it. Pedro and Esteban Loaiza have had very good years, but Halladay has been the best.
NL Cy Young: Mark Prior and Eric Gagne (tie). You can't ignore what either of these guys has done this season. Prior has been overpowering as a starter, Gagne has been unreal as a reliever. I truly think they should share the award, but I'm guessing Gagne will get it.
Those are my picks...we'll see.

good picks, deuce - i like most:
AL MVP : should be A-Rod . . . but I'd bet it's either Boone or Tejada (dark horse, been soooo hot)
NL MVP : uh, Bonds? Who else?
AL Rook : gotta be my boy Angel Berroa - just look at the numbers! the kid's sick
NL Rook : Brandon Webb - might have been cy if he'd played all year
AL Cy : should be Pedro by the digits, but Halladay will win b/c W-L is more important to voters
NL Cy : again - should be Gagne, but Ortiz wins on record
PS - Prior wins the next 5 cy youngs, unless wood takes one
