Ok, so this week it's time to vote for AL Awards. As you may know, BCB is one of the voters in BaseballHappenings.com's weekly blogpoll for MVP, Cy Young and Rookie of the Year.

Just like last week, I've got 5 nominees (alphabetically) for each award. You're welcome to go off the board if you want, my nominees are merely a suggestion and a starting point. Please rank your choices 1-3 for each award. Your votes will be combined to form the final BCB ballot. I'll post the voting results and the BCB ballot in Tuesday's Mug.
