3 nitpicks....
Bobby Jenks deserves to be on the "teamkillers" list, sharing space with my other closer Brad Lidge.
Also.. I think Black Sox had Quentin. Not sure. Definitely wasn't me :P
Quite right about Quentin. A correction will be made.
What was your third nitpick?
I think these awards are spot-on.
I would also add a category for next year called: Best value at draft position award (I'm sure you can come up with a better name for it).
This year, I would nominate Chris Carpenter.
Guess I only had 2 nitpicks. Maybe we should add list of players who were MVPs in one half, a teamkiller in the other. I'd nominate Jermaine Dye and Mark Buehrle...
Interesting ideas.
We'll see if we add a Jekyll and Hyde Award in future UPL Awards.
Also, a Draft Value Award is different enough from the Out of Nowhere Award" to still be worthwhile.
The draft value award would be intersting. I agree that Roland would likely have gotten it for Carpenter, but dang, Reynolds in the 18th round ain't bad either!
Ha! Jeckyll and Hyde works perfectly...
You're right, Greg. Mark Reynolds would get it for hitters and Chris Carpenter for pitchers. Should be an exciting league for years to come...
Yeah. Mark Reynolds jacking that many HR's? And you wonder why I thought that you had a rabbit's foot, a horseshoe, and a 4-leafed clover up your ass :-)
