Results with Blue Jays and other notables...
- Managers of the Year: Buck Showalter & Matt Williams - not shocking. No votes for Gibbons. Ex Jays Mike Matheny & Bud Black each got some votes
- Rookies of the Year: Jose Abreu & Jacob deGrom each won easily. No Blue Jays got a vote, although a guy with negative WAR did (Nick Castellanos). Travis d'Arnaud was 7th in the NL. I am surprised no one gave a 5th place vote to Marcus Stroman although he wasn't as strong as the other pitchers on the list.
- Cy Young: Clayton Kershaw & Corey Kluber. No Jays on the list but ex-Jay Henderson Alvarez did get a vote in the NL (12-7 2.65 ERA in 187 IP 144 ERA+)
- MVP: Clayton Kershaw & Mike Trout. Jose Bautista at #6 was the only Jay to get votes Ex Jay Jayson Werth was 18th in the NL (292/394/455 for 4.0 WAR this year).
Bautista's 6th place finish was the best result a Jay has had since 2011 when he finished 3rd (4th in 2010). Cito Gaston in 2010 was the last Blue Jay other than Bautista to make a top 5 (5th in Manager voting). Halladay's 5th in Cy voting in 2009 the last player to make a top 5.
No Gold Gloves this year. Dickey got one last year. No Jays catcher ever has won, no Jays 1B (although Olerud won 3 times in Seattle), Hudson in 2005 won at 2B, Gruber in 1990 at 3B, Fernandez in 1986-1989 at SS, Wells in the OF (2004-2006), Green in 1999, White in 1991-1995 (plus 2 pre-Jays) to give you a full outfield. Others to get GG's include Barfield in RF twice, and Alomar at 2B all 5 years he was here.
Silver Slugger was given out to Bautista in the OF. Other times at each position here are CA: none, 1B: Delgado (2003/2000/1999), McGriff 1989, 2B: Hill 2009, Alomar 1992, Garcia 1982, 3B: Gruber 1990, SS: none, OF: Bautista (2014/2011/2010), Wells 2003, Green 1999, Carter 1992/1991, Bell 1985-1987, Barfield 1986, Moseby 1983, DH: Lind 2009, Canseco 1998, Molitor 1993, Winfield 1992.
