Top Player: Josh Hamilton missed a fair number of games, but his overall numbers are still the best. The writers thought so, and I concur.
#1 Josh Hamilton, #2 Carl Crawford, #3 Robinson Cano, #4 Evan Longoria, #5 Jose Bautista, #6 Adrian Beltre.
Top pitcher: Again going with the writers; it was King Felix.
#1 Felix Hernandez, #2 C.C. Sabathia, #3 Justin Verlander, #4 Jon Lester, #5 Jered Weaver.
Top rookie: Austin Jackson, though Feliz had a fine year as well.
Top manager: Joe Maddon, probably true nearly every year.
