Archives Doc Voted AL's Best
Congratulations to Roy Halladay, named the American League's best pitcher in the annual Internet Baseball Awards, announced today by Baseball Prospectus. Doc earned almost half the first place votes from more than 1,500 astute fans to earn a decisive victory over Pedro Martinez. Let's hope the writers follow suit and he takes home his first Cy Young.

Carlos Delgado finished second in the IBA balloting for MVP, with A-Rod leading the way; Halladay was 10th in that race, with Vernon Wells 13th. Two Jays rookies made the top ten, as Reed Johnson was ninth and Aquilino Lopez tenth behind runaway winner Angel Berroa. Click the link for complete results. Thanks to Mike Moffatt for alerting us in the Shannon Stewart thread.

On the NL side, Barry Bonds' win over Albert Pujols as MVP wasn't as surprising as the margin of victory; Barry had 1271 first-place votes to just 195 for Albert. Mark Prior edged Eric Gagne and Jason Schmidt in a tight three-way race for the Internet Cy Young, and Brandon Webb romped as NL Rookie of the Year.

Tony Pena and Jack McKeon won by landslides as best managers in their respective leagues. Carlos Tosca finished in the middle of the AL pack.

Not all voters take their IBA responsibility seriously. Cory Lidle got a vote for AL MVP, as did Jeremi Gonzalez. Someone voted for ex-Jay Alex Gonzalez as NL MVP, and Pete Munro got a Cy Young vote.
