here are the categories... informal, feel free to choose multiple players (or no one) for each category... - CY YOUNG - MVP - BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT - BIGGEST SURPRISE - BIGGEST DUMBASS (on and/or off the field) - BIGGEST SHOCKER __
my picks... CY YOUNG kershaw wins another era title and cy young MVP hanley projects his 2013 numbers to a full season -- 38HR, 107RBI .345/.402/.638 BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT dee after winning the 2b job out of spring training, hits .167 and commits 20 errors in 12 games BIGGEST SURPRISE beckett gains 3-5MPH after surgery and wins 15 games with a 3.35ERA BIGGEST DUMBASS (on and/or off the field) kemp instead of taking fly balls or extra bp, he accepts a starring role in keeping up with the kardashians in the season's first episode, he mistakes bruce jenner for khloe (weird since khloe is clearly much more masculine) and somehow impregnates the androgynous former olympian in the season finale, khloe engages in a fivesome with dre, puig, carl and joc kemp is so distraught that he retires from baseball and opens a chinchilla rescue facility in henderson california BIGGEST SHOCKER ned wins gm/bb executive of year __
- CY YOUNG - Kersh - MVP - The Pig - BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT - Kemp (but not a surprise) - BIGGEST SURPRISE - Beckett - BIGGEST DUMBASS (on and/or off the field) - Donnie Dum Dum - BIGGEST SHOCKER - Royals/Dodgers World Series
Beckett sharp in debut: In his first start since May, Josh Beckett allowed one hit and struck out three Padres in two innings.
The only way Kemp can be a disappointment is if you expect a lot out of him. I don't think anybody is expecting that right now.
-CY YOUNG- Ryu, he calls Kershaw a bkitch in Korean. - MVP - Gonzales, he becomes the rock solid foundation of the team. - BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT - Hanley, injuries decimate his year. - BIGGEST SURPRISE - Arruebarruena...after a September call up, everyone pronounces his name correctly...even Tommy - BIGGEST DUMBASS (on and/or off the field) - Kemp, once again he fails to realize he can't play celebrity gigolo and play baseball at the same time. - BIGGEST SHOCKER - in the last game of the NLCS with the Dodgers down by two, bottom of the 9th, and bases juiced, Dre takes the LOOGY deep to win the pennant. In the ensuing mob scene at the plate, he suffers a concussion and is lost for the World Series.
CY YOUNG - Kershaw MVP - Hanley BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT - Ryu BIGGEST SURPRISE - A-Gon finds his power again BIGGEST SHOCKER - Chris Perez dominates
as hard as Kemp's reportedly hitting the baseball right now, yeh i'll be disappointed if he comes back @ 100% and goes down again. i know they wanna keep a close eye on him because of his injury and position but still...i'll be disappointed if LAD doesn't win the title and a Kemp injury would help prevent that glory more times than not. either that or a Dum Dum decision
Why are we jumping in their fountain? Are they going to be dicks to us all season then ask us not to be happy if we win in their stadium?
