A similar summary of the Major League award's voting will be posted soon (once Sean updates the Major League pitchers with their final stats).

Here are the top hitters and pitchers that are worthy of your analysis:

Playoff Teams:
Baltimore OF W. Gehrig Bear (dominant season on dominant team)
Baltimore DH J. Young (two time MVP)
Baltimore C J. Myers (APBA's answer to Joe Mauer)
Chicago C C. McMullen (another strong hitting catcher)
Mars SS M. Garciajawa (slick fielding do-it-all shortstop)
Miami OF B. Kaat (gold glove winning lead-off hitting cat)
-----------------------------------
Teams with winning records:
Charlotte 2B J. Solo (35-year old 2B still gets it done, maybe the best 2B ever?)
Louisville 1B H. Glover (another dominant 35-year old, maybe the best 1B ever?)
Las Vegas OF A. Samuel (great hitter may win this award once LV gets to the playoffs)
-----------------------------------
The rest:
Boston SS N. Garciajawa (Michael's older brother, still a fine hitter, average at best on D)
Boston 1B S. Johnson (38-year old likely HOF 1B, avg. at best on D now)
Springfield 3B B. Barrios (nice all around season)
Texas OF M. Crawford (might be the games most complete player)
Utah 1B F. Lewis (He is well on his way to his goal: There goes the best jawa hitter of all time)

Pitchers:
Baltimore: Storm Morris was the only 20 game winner, relief standout Andy Parsons nabbed 17 wins in relief.

Chicago: Mike Jolley had 230 Ks to lead the league, Kevin Millwood was better with 17 wins and a 2.98 ERA.

Mars: Tommy Klink was 2nd in the league with a 2.88 ERA and Michael Wicker has a great season as the closer.

Miami: K-Bob was a dominant closer all year.

Charlotte: Rob Porter had a 1.88 ERA and 35 saves.

Louisville: Grant Dunn had a nice 1st season in Louisville, continuing where he left off in Bay Area. Chad Anderson might have been the best closer (30 saves, 0.95 ERA) but only pitched 38 innings.

New York: Another good year for closer Troy Everett.

Springfield: Derek Howe was solid all year.

Texas: Their young frost giant, Bjorn Frostad came through with a 17-8 3.05 campaign.

Toledo: Elvis Rodriguez had a losing record, but an ERA under 3.00 and dominant numbers, Don Law led the league with a 2.83 ERA and won 14 games, and Paul Williamson had another great year in the pen with 40 saves and more innings than most closers.
