No, I am not. I almost went with Utley, but I don’t have the Phillies making the playoffs, so I guess that the voters won’t find much value in Utley, even though he will most likely be one of the best players in the game. And I don’t see Utley separating himself so much from the pack that the voters would give it to him even if the Phils miss out on the playoffs.
Santana is in a pitchers park, weaker league, and in a league that isn’t very familiar with him, and by the way, he is great. Too much FOR him to pick AGAINST him. But I may not pick any of these awards right.
