Steve
ROY
BF Joba Chamberlain - True, he is not elligble cause he didn't pitch enough games but he is still the rookie of the year. He saved the Yankees season. With out his huge guy and ability to get batters out that have never seen him before for 23 straight innings before giving up a home run. He got the Yanks to the wildcard.
Honorable mention Willits and Young

Chris Young - True he only hit .238 but he had 32 dingers, mostly hit lead off and lead his team to a division title. Boo Yah
Honorable mention Hunter Pence, he straight rakes

Cy Young
Fausto Carmona - No one saw it coming except maybe my self. He straight dealt, 3.06 ERA, WHIP a little high, terrible 2006 he bounced back big time

Brad Penny - Only 4 loses with 200+ innings pitched holy shit. 3rd lowest era however low strike out numbers hurt him against Peavy who beats him in everything except loses.
Honorable mention Jeff Francis and Matt Cain 3.65 era and 9 games under .500?!?

MVP
Carsten Charles Sabathia Cleveland Indians - Had a sick 2nd half pretty much dominating the league. The Indians don't have a good lead off hitter or clean up hitter yet continue to win. Their ace has been most vital to their success.
Honorable mention Maglio Ordonez

Eric Byrnes Arizona Diamondbacks - Slowed down at the end of the year but this feisty mofo set the d'backs up to win this season. Was vitally important to them stealing the division and is extremely underrated.

Manager of the Year
Mike Hargrove Seattle Mariners - Built the team up just to knock them down. Since retired they had a precipitous decline falling basically off the map. He wasn't the most important manager in the American League?

Manny Acta Washington Nationals - Single handedly destroyed the Mets season in September beating them at home on the road where ever and when ever. Almost ended the Phillies season as well with a team that was playing for nothing.

Goat of the Year
Justin Verlander Detroit Tigers - Great season stats however ended the Tigers season giving up 4 home runs against the Indians September 18th

Jose Reyes New York Mets - Batting Average dropped to .280 destroyed the Mets season by not getting on base or hitting he was their offense.

Coast
Same as Schrum except Jake Peavy gets the Cy Young
