I could write a 1000 word essay on how bad the Gold Gloves are. On average, about 3 choices per league are correct or strongly, strongly defensible. But otherwise, the awards this year were pretty on the money, but it's not as if they were particularly contentious races either.
Alber Pujols and Joe Mauer each won MVP's by near unanimous margins. Rightfully so.
Zack Greinke won the AL Cy Young after being nearly unhittable. Perfect choice.
Tim Lincecum won the NL Cy Young and deserv....errrr....what? Poor Adam Wainwright got shafted. That makes two Cy Youngs Lincecum's won that he hasn't deserved. Lucky man, BBWAA seems to want to help make him real rich.
Still 3 out of the 4 major awards ain't bad, although admittedly they screwed up the only real difficult choice.
