Tim Lincecum Wins NL Cy Young Award

In his second season, Giants Ace Tim Lincecum won the National League Cy Young Award.

Lincecum was 18-5 with a 2.62 ERA and a major league-best 265 strikeouts.

Tim was the best pitcher in Baseball this season, and I'm glad to see he got recognized.

Matt Holliday Traded

Matt Holdiay, one of the key pieces from the Colorado Rockies "Rocktober" run of 2007, has been traded.

Holliday is heading to the Oakland Athetics.

Huston Street, lefty starter Greg Smith and outfielder Carlos Gonzalez may be among the players that are sent to Colorado.

After Holliday basically dared the Rockies to trade him last week, the trade talks with the St. Louis Cardinals died down.

Holliday is representes by Scott Boras, meaning Holliday will command a lot of money on the Open market this coming offseason.

Good move by the Rockies to get some good players out of the deal.

Geo Soto, Evan Longoria: 2008 Rookies Of The Year

2008 was one of the greatest rookie classes in recent memory.

Two rookies had the most memorable performances.

Chicago Cubs Catcher Geovanny Soto won the National League Rookie Of the Year Award. It wasn't just his great offensive numbers (he had the most homeruns by a rookie catcher since Mike Piazza), but how he commanded the Cubs pitching rotation. Soto caught Carlos Zambrano's No Hitter against the Houston Astros.

The Last Cub to win a Rookie Of The Year Award was Kerry Wood in 1998.

Tampa Bay Rays Third Baseman Evan Longoria was the catalyst in the Tampa Bay Rays and their Cinderella Season in 2008. Longoria won the American League Rookie Of The Year Award.

Congratulations to the winners.

Congratulations to The MLB Gold Glove Winners!

Greg Maddux won a record 18th Gold Glove.

The MLB Gold Glove Award Winners were unveiled this week. If you missed it, here is a quick recap of the winners.

National League
P, Greg Maddux, LAD
C, Yadier Molina, STL
1B, Adrian Gonzalez, SD
2B, Brandon Phillips, CIN
3B, David Wright, NYM
SS, Jimmy Rollins, PHI
OF, Carlos Beltran, NYM
OF, Nate McLouth, PIT
OF, Shane Victorino, PHI

Greg Maddux won a record 18th Gold Glove, and I was not expecting Adrian Gonzalez to be on the list. However, Adrian was one of the few bright spots the Padres had this season. Ditto with Nate McLouth on the Pirates.

And In The American League:
American League
P, Mike Mussina, NYY
C, Joe Mauer, MIN
1B, Carlos Pena, TB
2B, Dustin Pedroia, BOS
3B, Adrian Beltre, SEA
SS, Michael Young, TEX
OF, Torii Hunter, LAA
OF, Grady Sizemore, CLE
OF, Ichiro Suzuki, SEA

It was good to see a Ray get on this list. All of Baseball knew about Carlos Pena's offense, but his defense is why he is one of the best first basemen in the American League. I was expecting to see Jacoby Ellsbury's name on the list.

Congratulations to all the Gold Glove Winners.
