Strat-O-Matic Report
2006 AL MVP: David Ortiz (BOS)
2006 NL MVP: Jimmy Rollins (PHI)
2006 AL Cy Young Award: Joe Nathan (MIN)
2006 NL Cy Young Award: Trevor Hoffman (SD)
Notes:
This is the third win in a row for Ortiz. Remarkably, the AL MVP for all 6 of my replays has been from the Red Sox. (Manny in 2001, Nomar in 2002 and 2003). Rollins .314/38/85 and 27 steals shows that the Strat MVP point system favors the 5-tool player over the big power hitter - his teammate, Ryan Howard, finished 4th in the voting with a .291/54/150 season.
Both Cy Young Award winners are closers for the first time in my 6 years of replays. This is something that has never happened in real life. Both of "my" closers (Papelbon and Cordero) finished 4th in the Cy voting in their respective league.
2006 AL Manager of the Year: Joe Torre (NYY)
2006 NL Manager of the Year: Bruce Bochy (SD)
