Conan Award

The Conan award for most valuable player went to the first basemen on the World Series teams.  Miguel Cruz hit .325 with a league best 33 homers and 104 RBI.  He also scored 112 runs and hit 42 doubles.  Cruz played 162 games at first base, where he made 14 errors but graded out as average in zone rating.  Cruz also won the award in 2014.

Joe Young won the Superior League award for the 7th time in his career.  The 39 year old hit .352 with 31 homers, 105 RBI, and scored 128 times.  He led the league with a .447 OBP and .599 slugging percentage.  Young played only one game at first during the season, spending another 146 as Miami's DH.  Young is happy to play only half the game as it helps his old body survive the rigors of the season.

Young now has 640 career homeruns and 2896 hits.  He is under contract for one more season in Miami.
