2007 Silver Slugger awards
See article and list here
Is this award less controversial and less based on popularity than others, like the gold gloves? According to the article: "Louisville Slugger Silver Slugger Award winners were chosen by Major League coaches and managers, who voted for the players they felt were the best offensive producers at each position in both the American and National Leagues in 2007. Selections are based on a combination of offensive statistics, including batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage, as well as the coaches' and managers' general impressions of a player's overall offensive value. Managers and coaches were not allowed to vote for players on their own team." |

[/ QUOTE ] Funny that these are the criteria because Hanley Ramirez led Rollins by at least THIRTY POINTS in EACH CATEGORY. 23 runs of VORP. What a joke. |
