NL ROY: Buster Posey
AL ROY: Neftali Feliz
NL Cy Young: Roy Halladay
I disagree with both ROY awards, Feliz didn't play enough, would give it to Jackson. Heyward in the NL. Pretty obvious choice for the Cy.
AL & NL Manager of the Year awards are announced tomorrow.

SEATTLE -- Felix Hernandez didn't get much help from his offensively challenged teammates this past season, but the young Mariners right-hander found plenty of support among voters with the Baseball Writers' Association of America to win his first American League Cy Young Award.
Despite posting just a 13-12 record, Hernandez finished well ahead of the Rays' David Price and Yankees 21-game winner CC Sabathia in the voting results released Thursday by the BBWAA.
While there were 17 AL pitchers with more victories this season, Hernandez impressed voters who looked deeper into his dominant season for a 61-101 Mariners club that scored the fewest runs per game of any Major League team since the designated hitter was introduced to the AL in 1973.
King Felix received 21 of a possible 28 first-place votes and finished with 167 voting points. Price, who went 19-6 for Tampa Bay, received four first-place votes and 111 points. Sabathia was named first on three ballots and garnered 102 points. Boston's Jon Lester and the Angels' Jered Weaver finished a distant fourth and fifth, respectively.
Hernandez is the second native of Venezuela to win a Cy Young, joining Johan Santana, who won in 2004 and 2006 while with the Twins.
"I don't have any words to explain how it feels," Hernandez said in a conference call with reporters from his home in Venezuela. "When I first heard, my mind was like, 'Really, really?' I had to ask again, 'Did I win the Cy Young?' And then I started crying and jumping around the house. It was a great, great, great, great, amazing thing."
Hernandez led the AL in ERA (2.27) and innings pitched (249 2/3) and struck out 232 batters, one behind Weaver for most in the league. Since the advent of the Cy Young Award in 1956, only 10 pitchers have led their league in those three categories. All 10 won Cy Youngs.
