that won the pennant and World Series. Minnesota's 94 wins took the

Top player: Alex Rodriguez.
It's pretty clear in retrospect that Rodriguez was easily the best player in
the AL in 2002. To me, at least, that's what the most valuable guy
is. A-Rod is tops in both WS and WARP.
#1 Alex Rodriguez, #2 Jason Giambi, #3 Jim
Thome, #4 Miguel Tejada, #5 Manny Ramirez, #6 Alfonso Soriano.
Top pitcher: Zito led in wins but Pedro Martinez was the most effective pitcher, though in fewer innings. Roy Halladay also emerged.
#1 Pedro Martinez, #2 Barry Zito, #3 Derek Lowe, #4 Roy Halladay, #5 Tim Hudson.
Top rookie: Eric Hinske, although he was not able to build on that success.
Top manager: Mike Scioscia, leading
the Angels to their first title ever.
