Braun's making that MVP push already!!! If the Brewers prevail in the Central, he's gotta get heavy consideration, no?

Well glad to say that not one of us had all of the playoffs teams right and I'd be interested to see an update to everyone's Award winners vote. A LOT has changed in the 2nd half.
Havok's Updates:
NL MVP: Albert Pujols (hell of a run put on by CC, Manny, and Johan to try to get their teams into the playoffs though)
NL CY Young: Johan Santana (Lincecum deserves it more but Johan's end of season heroics + NY media give him the nudge)
ROY: Geovany Soto (at least I got one right)
AL MVP: Dustin Pedroia (I'd go with Justin Morneau if the Twins make the playoffs)
AL CY Young: Cliff Lee (Halladay is the only one that is close)
AL ROY: Evan Longoria (not a ton of competition here)
Managers of the Year: Joe Maddon is a shoe-in and I'll go with Lou Piniella.
Have at it boys.

NL MVP - Pujols - no one stands head and shoulders above the crowd, but Pujols has the best overall numbers.
NL CY - I'm sticking with my initial pick of CC ... he picked the Brew Crew up on his back and took them into the playoffs.
NL ROY - Soto
AL MVP - Hamilton - even less clear here than in the NL
AL CY - Lee - in the bag
AL ROY - Longoria - even more in the bag
