Las Vegas, NV (McC) With the season at the halfway point McCabe
Magazine announces its mid-season awards. After considering several candidates for
the mid-summer MVP we here at McCabe have selected Philip Priest (34 HR, 88 RBI, 389 BA) of the Colorado
Rockies as the league’s Most Valuable Player. Dicky Wilkerson (38 HR, 98 RBI, 297
BA) of the New York Mets was a very strong second in voting among our editors
and major league bloggers. However, the batting averages 389 to 297, OBP 446 to
373, and SLG 864 to 628 were the tie breaker among crack staff.
The Outstanding
Pitching award goes to Asdrubal Pelaez (15-6, ERA 1.96) of the San Diego Padres. Pelaez is on pace to break Vince Garcia single season (16) record 26 wins. He leads the league with a 0.88
WHIP and 192 OVA. Our Fireman of the mid-summer is Cedrick Hollins (30 saves, 1.25 ERA). Hollins is a five time All-Star with a 0.92
WHIP.
Before we get
accused of turning the mid-summer awards into the NL West individual awards let’s
move on to the ALL-PRO Team.
