Top player: Jeff Kent. I was unkind to Kent's selection at the time, but both metastats have him at or tied for the top spot. Kent, Bonds and Alfonzo, who got little mention, are all good choices, but Kent is a little bit better.
#1 Jeff Kent, #2 Barry Bonds, #3 Edgardo Alfonzo, #4 Andruw Jones, #5 Todd Helton, #6 Gary Sheffield.
Top pitcher: Randy Johnson had the most impressive year. No one blows away the field.
#1 Randy Johnson, #2 Greg Maddux, #3 Tom Glavine, #4 Mike Hampton, #5 Kevin Brown.
Top rookie: Rafael Furcal led rookies with 17 Win Shares, ahead of Payton and Ankiel with 14 each.
Top manager: Dusty Baker led the Giants to the most victories.
