Preseason baseball picks

What are your preseason picks for the annual MLB awards?
Here are mine:
AL MVP-Jason Giambi-1B-Yankees (I know, I know. I don't like it any more than anyone else)
NL MVP-Lance Berkman-OF-Astros (I can dream, can't I?)
AL Rookie of the Year-Hank Blalock-3B-Rangers
NL Rookie of the Year-Josh Beckett-SP-Marlins
AL Cy Young-Mark Mulder-SP-A's
NL Cy Young-Roy Oswalt-SP-Astros (but only if he plays like he did last year)
AL Comeback player of the year-Frank Thomas-DH-White Sox
NL Comeback player of the year-Mo Vaughn-1B-Mets
AL Manager of the Year-Ron Gardenhire-Twins (this team is gonna be good)
NL Manager of the Year-Jimy Williams-Astros

Okay, maybe I'm a little biased.

<br>You're really enthusiastic about the music that you like. You attempt to discover your new favourite
band every week. You continually try to get your friends into the music you like, which annoys them, but you don't know it. At least you're not arrogant about it.

A LITTLE biased??? Ok, Mulder is NOT going to get cy young. He is a great pitcher with great potential to get cy young in a few years, but he's too young. lance Berkman MVP????? He is great, but there are Lots of better guys that affect their teams in more ways. Well, i don't know who will get the awards, i just know its not gonna be those guys, yet...

preseason awards

ok here are my picks

AL MVP--Ichiro (again...the guy is just an amazing player)
NL MVP--Sammy Sosa (would have won it last year if Bonds didn't hit 73 homeruns)
AL Cy young--Freddy Garcia (led the league in ERA last year at 3.05....went 18-6 and was the M's go to guy) but if Pedro stays healthy this year he will win the cy youn
NL Cy young--this is tough....but i like one of the d-backs pitchers either Randy Johnson or Curt Schilling...most likely schilling... he got snubbed by another fantastic season from the Unit
AL rookie--i don't know much about this years crop of rookies...but i would say the front runners are Nick Johnson (NYY) Carlos Pena (OAK) and Hank Blalock (TEX)
NL rookie--Josh Beckett in a landslide
AL Comeback player---Frank Thomas
NL comeback player---MO Vaughan
AL Manager--"Sweet" Lou Pinella
NL Manager--Tony Larussa (just watch...the cardinals are gonna run-a-way with the NL...and will probably be in the World Series)

and just for fun....World Series Champs....Seattle Mariners in 6 over the St. Louis Cardinals....(I can dream can't I)

I'd say either Mulder or Hudson will win the Cy Young, unless Pedro is healthy. Mulder SHOULD have won the Cy Young last year. Berkman prolly won't win it this year...... More realistically it'll probably be Sosa, Pujols, Luis Gonzalez, or Bonds again.
