PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Antone Hoover, Syracuse
NL Rookie of the Year and co-MVP, World Series champion - what more needs to be said about this kid? Although he wasn't, statistically speaking, the best hitter in the majors this season, Hoover is probably the biggest story of the season. This may be the first of many Player of the Year awards for an emerging superstar.
Runner-Up: Raul Vallarta, Mexico City/Atlanta
PITCHER OF THE YEAR
Ossie Acker, Vancouver
After years of Javier Henriquez being the league's most dominant pitcher, another top pitcher has finally emerged good enough to compete with Fargo's Ace of Aces. Acker carved up the majors in impressive fashion while helping Vancouver to its second-ever division title. He and Henriquez put up nearly-identical stats this season, but Acker pitches in a tougher home park, so he gets the Pitcher of the Year nod.
Runner-Up: Javier Henriquez, Fargo
MANAGER OF THE YEAR
flipdog0, Buffalo
It's a tough call on this one as there were several deserving candidates (particularly shobob, who won 96 games while spending just $53M in player salaries), but flipdog0 takes the cake for bringing Buffalo to its first postseason berth ever, and then taking them all the way to the World Series.
Runner-Up: shobob, Vancouver
