I dis agree, Greinke had a GREAT 1st half of the year, but dropped off considerably in the 2nd half, came on again very late in the year.
A agree with Tracy getting the award, but don't agree that Scioscia should have won. I would have given it to Ron Gardenhire. The Angels had a very talented team in the weakest division on all of baseball, and they would have won despite Scioscia. The Twins came from behind to win their division with a team that had a lot less talent in a more competitive division.
1. The Angels had to overcome the tragic death of Nick Adenhart
2. The Twins didn't do much until September. I wouldn't name Gardenhier Manager of the Year based on one good month.
Should that be a factor? I think a minor one. But, the whole team had to bond together and families usually do that even without a leader.
You don't win a division on one month. And to excel in the toughest month of all does require good leadership.
Technically, they didn't. The one game "playoff" was part of the regular season.
The pot head wins the NL Cy Young for the second straight year. I would bet that Wainwright or Carpenter would have beat him if they were not on the same team.
Another winner that many of us predicted, and rightly so.

This dude is living in the wrong era, that's for sure. Right city, wrong era.
Here's your voting break down :
Tim Lincecum 11 12 9 100
Chris Carpenter 9 14 7 94
Adam Wainwright 12 5 15 90
Wainwright had 1 more First place vote, but 10 less over all fwiw.
And I would be willing to bet if these two were not on the same team, then Wainwright would have won

This was probably the easiest pick. There was nobody really close to touching him. In fact, if they had a MLB MVP, he would have won that hands down as well.
The real drama about the NL MVP vote to me was who'd be the runner-up.
This year, it's Hanley Ramirez.
