Eric Cyr, Internet Baseball Awards, and Mock Dispersal Draft

by Geoff Young on Oct 24, 2001

  • Good writeup on Eric Cyr’s AFL experience
  • I should have mentioned this earlier but the deadline for voting for the Internet Baseball Awards is today. I’ll post my entire vote tomorrow. For now, here are my top choices:
    • AL ROY: Ichiro Suzuki. No-brainer
    • NL ROY: Albert Pujols. No-brainer
    • AL Cy Young: Freddy Garcia. Probably the toughest call among the awards; he, Mark Mulder, Mike Mussina, and Roger Clemens were neck-and-neck
    • NL Cy Young: Randy Johnson. He and Curt Schilling were the only NL pitchers who got my vote for MVP (#4 and #6, respectively, IIRC)
    • AL MVP: Roberto Alomar. Not to add fuel to the fire but if A-Rod had signed with the M’s, he’d have gotten my vote
    • NL MVP: Barry Bonds. Some incredible seasons in the NL this year; guys like Lance Berkman and Phil Nevin didn’t even make my top 10
  • Finally, for your continued amusement (and even though we all know contraction won’t really happen), here is how the mock dispersal draft is going over at Baseball Primer.
