Wow @ Soto over Gonzalez.

Corrigan owns this award in the DL. Even in years I don't think he's going to win he manages to pull it out at the end. He is unbelievably consistent.

[Clay]

Yes... as much as we say that the Stout Slugger will eventually be the Harry Keppel Award..... there's no question that the Pale Ale eventually becomes the Corrigan Cup or something. This guy owns it.... and may win it 3 or 4 more times before he's done.

I voted for Cabezas. His season was unreal.

Soto over Gonzalez. Wow. Gonzalez had a better ERA, WHIP, pitched more innings, more strikeouts, less walks, more complete games and had a K/BB ratio of 9.15. The next highest in the IL was 4.73. The only thing Soto had over Gonzalez was a record of 20-7 vs. 16-10. I guess that mattered to the voters.

Do we manually enter these winners in-game? Or does the game still choose them? Gonzalez gets a $1,000,000 bonus if he wins the pitcher of the year award, and if he isn't going to get recognized for that I don't want to have to pay that money! haha.

The game chooses it's own awards. The bonuses are based on the in game awards.

Damnit.

[Sully]

Soto will be a free agent.

[Ryan]

Soto will be a free agent.

Wow, he's gonna be asking for the moon I'm sure.

What did he want to resign? If you don't mind telling that is.

[Sully]

What did he want to resign? If you don't mind telling that is.

He started the season asking for 6 per to resign. I didn't sign him then because I had a few young arms I wanted to take a look at. He was lights out over the last two months of the season, better than anyone in the BLB, and he's now asking for about 13 per.

[Carlos]

Good thing I traded him for a push at a playoff berth...
