It's baseball awards week -- the "official" awards voted on by the BBWAA will be announced this evening via a show on MLB Network.
We at SB Nation have, as has been the custom the last few years, voted for our own awards, using the same voting structure as the BBWAA.
You will not be surprised to learn the identities of our winners for Rookie of the Year. Bryce Harper is the SBN National League Rookie of the Year; Mike Trout won the American League version. Each site got two votes; Mike Bojanowski got the second vote from this site. Our ballots:
Al: Wade Miley, Bryce Harper, Anthony Rizzo Mike: Bryce Harper, Todd Frazier, Wade Miley
Here's the National League voting; points awarded are on a 5-3-1 basis. Yes, I made a homer pick in Rizzo; I thought his numbers in a bit more than half a season were worth a third-place vote. Why Miley over Harper? Though Harper's numbers were very good, he also had times when he struggled, while Miley was pretty consistent all season long. It was pretty close, in my mind.
