SEASON 18 OWNER of the YEAR

OWNER/ORGANIZATION of SEASON 18 

Listed below you will find the McCabe Magazine Owner/Organization of the Year Winner and our Owner Power Rankings. The owner with the highest winning percentage at every level at the end of the regular season and for the first time we awarded bonus points for winning the division and for making the playoffs (wildcard). The Owner with the most points will receive the McCabe Magazine Owner of the Year Award. We here at McCabe Magazine feel that a good owner should maintain a solid farm system and a winning major league ball team. His big club should be in position to win the division and one or more of the lower level squads should be in position to capture a minor league World Series title. The Owner of the Year should field competitive teams at every level.

Bonus Points and Winning Percentages 

The Power Rankings are a combine total of each teams (RL, Low A, High A, AA, AAA, ML) winning percentage. Each team will receive one point for each win and BONUS POINTS as followed: ML Division Winner 100 points, Wildcard 75, AAA Division Winner 50 points, AAA Wildcard 45, AA Division Winner 40, AA Wildcard 35, High A Division Winner 30, High A Wildcard 25, Low A Division Winner 20, Low A Wildcard 15.

Season 18 Mid-Summer Awards

Who is the Mid-Summer MVP

Miami, Fla. (McC) The votes are in, and we here at McCabe Magazine are ready to announce our Mid-Summer All-Pro Team and Player Awards. The voters are selected beat writers and club front office personnel. Envelope PLEASE. 

Our Robert E. McCabe Mid-Summer Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award came down to four choices. These four players will all be finalist for the end of year MVP in their respective Leagues. The nominees on our list are Homer Henry (NY2) of the New York Mets who leads the majors with 38 Home Runs. Next is last year’s Mid-Summer MVP Philip Priest (COL) of the Colorado Rockies (33 HR, .334 BA). Then we have the best 5-tool player in League history, Kansas City’s Tony Cortes (KC). Cortes leads the League with a .381 Batting Average, and 1164 OPS. Rounding out our four nominees is Don Bagley (DET) of the Detroit Tigers. Bagley (.376 BA) is in a dead heat with Cortes for the All-Time Hit King Title. And the winner is Tony Cortes. This 31 year-old first ballot Hall of Famer has only one question left, can he lead the Royals (54-37) to their first World Series Title in club history.

McCabe Magazine Outstanding Pitcher

Our Mid-Summer Outstanding Pitcher Award came down to three hurlers. The nominees are Stewart Bell (13-3, 1.97 ERA) of Tampa Bay. The next player started the season in the Bullpen Art Oberholtzer (9-0, 1.63 ERA), and Arizona’s workhorse Vince Garcia (8 CG, 2.07 ERA). And the winner of the Mid-Summer Pitcher Award is, Stewart Bell. Tampa Bay (52-29) leads the National League South by 7 games and is in position to win their first divisional title, with Bell will be leading the charge. Bell has never won 20 games in a season, coming close in season 15 with 19, when he tallied 9 for Detroit and 10 for Seattle. Bell is on the last year of a $15 million dollar deal and is pitching for a season 20 contract. However, at age 32 look for this Cy Young Award candidate to get a deal around 8-10 mil per year.

Mid-Summer Fireman

Our Mid-Summer Fireman Award winner is Al Segui (33 Saves, 1.60 ERA) of the Baltimore Orioles. This 37 year-old much traveled sinker ball pitcher has made the All-Star Team for three different clubs during his 18 year career.
