This Year in Baseball Awards-MLB.com



I'm not sure how much you guys are into such things, but in case you're interested, MLB.com has posted the link to its annual This Year in Baseball Awards. There are five categories for which you can vote for Tigers, detailed below.

Star-divide

Hitter of the Year: Miguel Cabrera

Starter of the Year: Justin Verlander

Rookie of the Year: Rick Porcello

Play of the Year: The Curtis Granderson catch in Cleveland

Moment of the Year: Ernie Harwell's thank you speech at Comerica Park

I know most of these guys don't have a chance of winning because they're nominated against players who are either more deserving or more popular. Rick Porcello probably has the best chance of anyone. Even Grandy has to contend with that Dewayne Wise catch in the Mark Buehrle perfect game, which got a whole lot more media attention. But they are better represented than last year, when they were confined to Miguel Cabrera and Armando Galarraga. So if you care to, you can still show them your love (but beware; watching the accompanying video clips made me realize just how much I miss seeing our boys in action). At any rate, I figured I'd give a heads-up.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Bless You Boys writing staff. However, it does reflect the views of this particular fan, which is as important as anything else written here at BYB.

I did my part but, like you, I’m not holding my breath.

"Bless You Boys" was the catchphrase used by former Detroit sportscaster Al Ackerman when reporting a winning Tigers score.
