National League Awards:
MVP: Matt Kemp, Los Angeles Dodgers. I know he played on a third place team, but he was without a doubt the best player in the National League. He led the NL in homers (39) and RBIs (126) as well as finishing in third in average (.324) and fourth in on-base percentage (.399). Additionally, he was second in the National League with 40 steals and played an outstanding center field. It's tough to admit that the MVP should go to a Dodger, but credit where credit is due.
Cy Young: Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers. Another tough one for me to swallow, but Kershaw was tied for the league lead in wins (21-5), first in ERA (2.28) and first in strikeouts (248). Best pitcher in the league, in my book. Particularly impressed with his 21 wins on a third-place team.
Manager of the Year: Kirk Gibson, Arizona Diamondbacks. He got that team to the playoffs.
Rookie of the Year: Craig Kimbrel, Atlanta Braves. Great closer, even if he faded down the stretch.
Sorry not more detail, but the playoffs are under way on TBS for today.
