NL CY Young
Larry Coombs, the reigning NL CY young winner had a tough battle with his own teammate (Andres Gomez) as well MNT Wladimir Blasco but in the end his numbers are too good to ignore. Leading the league in era at a stunning 1.75 era (.02 better than Gomez) and tied with Gomez for a .97 whip! What separates the two is the 30 innings pitched as well as a lower BB/9 ratio. You can’t go wrong with either Coombs or Gomez but in the end Coombs gets the nod by the slimiest of margins.

NL Rookie of the Year
Alving Franco, continues in the long line of the very talented Montgomery BoxCars (is there any end in sight for this dynasty?). Stealing 53 bases and scoring over 100 runs Franco did not lack in the power department as well, bopping 14 hr’s and 25 doubles. His production this seasons gives him the nod over teammate Miguel Barcelo by a slim margin.
