Top Player: Albert Pujols, pretty obviously. Glad the BBWAA avoided giving it to Ryan Howard in spite of his HR and RBI lead. He did come in a close second.
#1 Albert Pujols, #2 Lance Berkman, #3 Carlos Beltran, #4 Chase Utley, #5 Hanley Ramirez, #6 David Wright.
Top pitcher: Tim Lincecum makes a spectacular splash.
#1 Tim Lincecum, #2 Brandon Webb, #3 Johan Santana, #4 C.C. Sabathia, #5 Ryan Dempster.
Top rookie: Joey Votto, though Geovany Soto had a solid season.
Top manager: Lou Piniella, though the magic did not last into the postseason.
