NL Post Season Awards-
NL MVP-
Ryan Howard-Phillies-48 Homers and a big presence for the World Champs…. Greats stats on a winning team and carried the O with 2b Chase Utley slumping power numbers wise…. GREAT Subway ads!!!
NL CY YOUNG-
Brad Lidge- Phillies-Those laughing check his stat line…You trying pitching in that ball park and go 54 for 54 in saves… Great turnaround story after he was banished from Houston….. Linecum has stats but does it on bad team, Sabathia was in the NL for 3 months and the Phillies topped the Mets giving Lidge an edge over Johan Santana
NL ROOKIE OF THE YEAR-
C Geovany Soto-Cubs-Vital player for the best team in the NL during the regular season… Great bat and power stats plus worked well with a diverse pitching staff…Fixture for years to come in the Windy City
2009 NL TEAM TO WATCH-
New York Mets-Have lost playoff spots on the last day the previous two seasons, have cash with a new stadium plus loons like me screaming at them to produce….to quote AL Davis-JUST WIN, BABY!!!…. Need a LF(Raul Ibanez? Manny Ramirez?), SP(Derek Lowe?), 2b(Orlando Hudson?) , set -up man(Juan Cruz?) and closer(Brian Fuentes?)… Would GM Omar Minaya trade CF Carlos Beltran(Red Sox?) or SS Jose Reyes?…. Must add 2 starting pitchers with Pedro Martinez and Oliver Perez free agents
