How can I pick just one? Big Papi would be the first to come to mind - along with Varitek. Wily Mo is my favorite new addition. I followed him in Cincinnati and I think he'll be a major contributor in the near future. Since he's been in the Sox lineup I think his plate discipline had improved dramatically.

I'm a Mets fan. Huge actually. I've voted many for the whole Mets lineup on MLB.com. I want as many people representing New York, the National League, and the MLB from the best team in baseball right now. Mets are going to win it all baby with their many All-Stars!

They should be a little more interesting to watch...Alex Gordon > 2005 college player of the year >2006 Minor League player of the year >2007 we'll see, but Gordon has a chance to be a star..\n\nBilly Butler is only 20, and, he can flat out hit, will he make the big club?\n\nIt would be nice to see Mike Sweeney actually play a full season, it is a contract year for Sweeney so he's going to have a little more incentive than usual to put up numbers...\n\nMark Teahen is one of the best young 3B in all of baseball, \n\nDavid Dejesus plays gold glove caliber defense,no that's not right actually he played better defense last year than any of the three(OF) gold glove winners in the AL.  I look for his offensive numbers to get slightly better next year...\n\nEstaban German is playing winter ball in hopes of improving his defense to the point he would no longer be a liability in the field...\n\nThe Royals need to do something about Catcher and Shortstop...John Buck and Angel Berroa have got to go...\n\nMark Grudzielanek will be solid again at second...\n\nEmil Brown improved his defense to the point last year that he's now a solid ML outfielder....\n\nAlmost no matter what the Royals do with their pitching staff next year it could not be any worse than 2006...I don't look for any huge improvement, but, I do look for the pitching to be a little better...\n\nI don't look for Luke Hochaver to start the season in KC but maybe by the All Star break they will give him a shot...\n\nJimmy Gobble has good stuff he just need to learn to keep the ball in the park...\n\nHudson - Hernandez - Redman, should at least burn up some innings\n\nThe bullpen should be improved.\n\nThe Royals are not going to go .500 next year, but they should win a few more games..Hopefully the young guys will make a big splash...

A gold Glove is voted on by sportswriters of America to each of the best fielding (Defense) players at each position which is 9 in each league. There are 2 leagues the National and American.  The MVP is also voted on by the media for the best Individual player in each league.

I think David Ortiz will get that honor. Just look at the AL East's pitching staff. Nobody really stands out except Holliday and R.Johnson, and Ortiz doesn't have to face Schilling.

This is what I had before the season started...\n\nAL MVP: Vlad Guerrero\nAL CY: Roy Halladay\nNL MVP: Albert Pujols\nNL CY: Roy Oswalt

Derek Jeter - no question he will go in\n \nAlex Rod - yes, he will go\n\nMatsui - tough to say, but with half a major league career and half of a Japanese career, he probably won't.\n\nJohnny Damon - No I don't think he will go, I don't see him putting up the career numbers necessary to make it, especially considering the fact that he's a center fielder. Writers who vote for the HOF expect more power from the CF position. He's played 11 seasons so far, but has only made the All-Star team twice...that's not very good...\n\n\nBarry Bonds - yes, unless they manage to ban him somehow, which is what they appear to be doing.\n\nJason Jambi (sic) - he MIGHT go, but it depends on how the writers view the steroids issue in 20 years. The further you get from the end of a player's career, the more important his stats become in the HOF's evaluation of him. Sportwriters like to think they have good memories, but most of them really don't.\n\n\nGary Shettfield - I think Shefield has a good chance to get in some day, unless he's somehow banned for steroid use. He's put great #s on the board, and has played for some winning teams. If his career is long enough to put some really great career numbers up, there's no reason he wouldn't go in eventually, though maybe not on the first few ballots.\n\n\nCarlos beltron - way too early to tell. But if he keeps up this quality of play for 10 to 12 years, he should make it.\n\nMike Pizzatza - Piazza is a shoe-in. Twelve all star games...  never won an MVP but finished 2nd twice and 3rd another time. A .311 career batting average to go along with  397 HR and 1,223 RBI... He's probably the best hitting catcher ever to play in the major leagues.  Slugging pct of .555... These are definitely Hall of Fame numbers, considering we're talking about a catcher here. Plus, he's had six 100-RBI season, with another four season in the 90+ RBI range.  It would be tough to find someone who played in 12 All Star Games and isn't in the HOF.\n\n\nPedro Marntiez - Yes, Pedro will go into the HOF.

He could and arguably should, but will not.  Very rarely do pitchers win MVP.  Unfair I think.  I can think of Pedro with Montreal I believe, and I thought Dennis Eckersly for some reason.  It's like the Heisman, why don't more defensive players win it?

you best believe andruw jones will!  i am predicting right now that he will carry the braves to a 15th consecutive title.  he will hit 50 homeruns once again, STEROID FREE, and like always, be the best centerfielder in the game.  he doesn't get enough credit for everything he does so hands down, its his year for mvp.

Why not Bronson Arroyo?  He has a much better ERA and just one less win.  Also, Brandon Webb has a good ERA, just two less wins, and a much more consistent career so far than Arroyo.  Tom Glavine's ERA isn't even in the top 10 of the National League, although he does have the most wins so far.    \n\nLike the first answer says, we still have a long way to go until the end of the season, and so many things can happen that may change the candidates for the Cy Young Award.\n\nCheck this out: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/stats/bycategory?cat=Pitching&conference=NL&sort=100 and try filtering it by ERA too.
