1.Rico Pascual: Pascual's dominance is incredible.
2.Al Olivares: Pascual's dominance is so far above everyone else it takes away from some of the other performances that deserve recognition, like Olivares'.
3. Dicky Feng: Feng has been very good so far and could be better if some Washington players were meeting expectations.
4. Harry Owen: Best closr in the NL this season.
5.Paxton Gaetti: Not as many innings as I would like to see but his dominance is undeniable.

Season 20: Mid-Season Awards- AL Cy Young
1. Victor Nieves: Third best WHIP in the league, leads the league in starter ERA, league leader in wins, 3rd in K's. He has been the winning pitcher in 15 of the 19 games he has started. That is making a difference.
2. Ryan Edwards: league leading WHIP. 11 Wins.
3. Eric Turnbow: Turnbow's numbers are impressive out of the pen.
4. Ray Evans: Not a real candidate for this award but past the top three no one is at this point. Very good season and deserves some recognition for it.
5. William Stephens: Stephens won't show up on many lists, he has very few counting stats, but his performance has probably been the brightest part of the season in Baltimore.

Season 20: Mid-Season Awards- AL MVP
1. Donaldo Santana: It was a tough call between Santana, Willie Alcantara, and Javier Arroyo. What I cannot figure out is how Santana has scored so many more runs than the other team with a significantly lower OBP than both of them while playing for the same team. He also has many more RBI.
2.Kordell Mintz: Mintz has been the driving offensive player on the second best team in the AL while playing a difficult defensive position.
3. Pat Hernandez Hernandez has Cleveland in a position to be the first non-Syracuse team to win the AL North. Can he keep them there?
4. John Yamaguchi: Yamaguchi has been one of the most dominating players in Ruth history, he has no MVP awards. This may be his last shot. His international signing bonus was only $9.5m impressive.
5. Eddie Arnold: Arnold and Oswaldo Franco were both up for the final slot and I gave Arnold a slight edge. The fact that they are both so similar and up for consideration could also be the argument aghainst both of them.

Season 20: Mid-Season Awards- NL MVP
My criteria for MVP is not based solely on stats, although they play a big part in it. Team success and expectations also plays a role in it.
1. Don Tanaka: Tanaka does it all on offense, table setter, run producer, steals, he is the heart and soul of a dominant Tampa team.
2.Russell Tracy: Hartford was predicted to be a darkhorse tam this season and so far they are one of the top 3 teams in the league. Tracy plays a huge role in their success.
3.Javier Javier: Javier has carried this team for most of the season. Considering the injuries and underperformance of others on this team it is amazing they are in charge of the second wild card slot.
4. Brandon Walsh: It was a toss up between Walsh and William Dalrymple. While Dalrymple's power is impressive, Walsh's ability to get on base provides more value to the Huntington team.
5. Bobby Valentin: As Valentin goes so goes the Armstrongs. When he slumps the team slumps, when he is hot the team is hot.
P.T. Belliard is having a great season but his team is 6 out of the division and 4 out of the wild card. If they can make a run in the second half then Belliard will move up on this list, pretty close to the top.
