While we all sit around and wait for the BBWAA to announce their award selections next week, contributors from around the SB Nation network have counted our ballots and are ready to reveal our 2011 awards this week under the following schedule:
Monday: Rookies of the Year (Craig Kimbrel NL, Michael Pineda AL)
Tuesday: AL Cy Young (Justin Verlander)
Wednesday: NL Cy Young (Roy Halladay and Clayton Kershaw)
Thursday: AL MVP (Jose Bautista)
Friday: NL MVP
If this voting is any indication, we're all going to be pretty disappointed when the BBWAA announces their NL MVP award next week.
In a race that didn't turn out to be all that close, Matt Kemp was listed in first place on 21 of 28 ballots en route to a pretty easy victory over Ryan Braun. Braun took home first place votes on the remaining seven ballots and second place finishes on 19 more to finish second.
