2008 Superior League Awards

Rookie of the Year:
1. Jabba Robinson, P, Las Vegas - Dominant stats and solid W-L, ERA for a rookie pitcher
2. Luke Ford, OF, Chicago - The force is not as strong in this one as you might think, he is a solid hitter, but refuses to play defense. He is more of a career DH type.
3. T. Sullivan, P - Didn't pitch much, but did help his team to the playoffs. Once he shakes the wildness, he could be a future Cy Young award winner.

Cy Young:
1. Storm Morris, Baltimore - 20 wins and pitching for the best team in the league gets it done. His 2nd award (also won in 2001 with Florida).
2. Andy Parsons, Baltimore - winning 17 games in relief deserves a "wow".
3-T. Don Law, Toledo - 14 wins and a league leading 2.83 ERA only gets 3rd place. Had he pitched for Baltimore, he may have run away with his 2nd award.
3-T. Kevin Millhouse - 17 wins and a 2.98 ERA. Like Law, on a 100-win team, he could have won this award as well.

MVP:
1. W. Gehrig Bear - OF/1B, Baltimore - He was the best player on the best team all year.
2. Joe Young - DH, Baltimore - Another dominant season and this time, he gets to go to the post-season. Has won this award multiple times before, so he is happy to see Bear get his.
3. Andy Parsons - P, Baltimore - When you win 106 games, you should have the top 3 players in MVP voting.
4-T. Hal Glover, 1B, Louisville - May be the best hitter in the league, another batting title to add to his collection.
4-T. Alvaro Samuel, OF, Las Vegas - Mini-Pujols keeps up the great hitting.
