I don't like to put pitchers in this category; that's why there's a CY Young award

1) K. Youkilis ( Can't go by what SC thinks is the POG, but Youk's HRs and RBIs either tied the gms or gave Us the Lead )
2) M. Bradley ( killed me with a walk off HR )
3) G. Sizemore
4) R. Braun
5) C. Peña

I thought about Youk, but he had a monster first quarter and then was injured and hasn't done much for over a month now. I agree with you about the Cy Young, but you have a team of MVPs where noone stood out. That left me with Wakefield as the only one who dominated.

Subject: YO! Mon Jun 15, 2009 5:11 pm

Grady Sizemore - Tied for 1st in POG's/2nd in RBI's from the leadoff spot/7 HR's - did a little of everything

Rick Ankiel - 8 HR's/15 RBI's/3 SB's - did a little of everything

Tim Wakefield - Lead the league in wins/tied for 1st in POG's/ and a no-hitter

Milton Bradley - 15 HR's - might have been higher on list if RBI stats were available

Ryan Braun - 6 HR's/15 RBI's/3 SB's - did a little of everything

***Kevin Youkilis get's honorable mention - would of been on list if not for lack of RBI stats***
