Del Romero, picture above, had a monster season for the top team in the NL, Montgomery BoxCars. He was the league leader in HR, OPS, slugging % and NL leader in RBIs. Romero was the most feared hitter throughout the season. 12 + plays at 2b this season while posting a .985 fielding % he was no slouch on defense.

AL MVP
Everett Francis all around game has placed Seattle in the run for a repeat. His 16 + plays at a premier position and his bat paved the way for a Silver Slugger award. Playing in an offensively challenged park only enhance his performance in the season 21.

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 CY Young | W | L | ERA | WHIP | IP/G | K’s |
| Larry Coombs - LV | 17 | 6 | 1.75 | .97 | 226.2/35 | 229 |
| Andres Gomez - LV | 19 | 2 | 1.77 | .97 | 193.0/34 | 197 |
| Wladimir Blasco | 24 | 7 | 2.89 | 1.17 | 224.1/43 | 189 |

He was second in the AL in era at 2.07 (.05 behind the leader) and was everything you want in your staff ace. 19 wins while holding opponents to a .214 ba and a whip of 1.05. It was a tough field but Martin stood out above the rest in the AL.
| AL Cy Young | W | L | ERA | WHIP | IP/G | K’s |

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.
