S50 Awards Voting

This is a bit later than I typically post this, but I finally have some time to go through the end of season awards ballot to evaluate each of the candidates using Wins Above Replacement. These figures are park-adjusted, and the pitcher's totals are also based on the Fielding Independent Pitching statistic (as well as batting prowess-or lack thereof- where appropriate), so I've long felt these are the best representation of individual performance that are (somewhat) easily derived from the information provided to us by WIS. Here's how this year's ballot breaks down:
