S52 Awards Voting

As has become tradition, I am going to take a quick look at each of the candidates for the end of season awards and see who stands above the rest in terms of Wins Above Replacement. Each year, I choose the top player by WAR for each award as the guy that I support, and I hope it helps aid your voting as well as providing a bit of entertainment during the playoffs...which are either stressful if you're participating and (potentially) boring if you are not. As always, I'm happy to discuss my methods with you via Trade Chat or Sitemail, but don't want to bore those of you who just want to see results and aren't overly concerned with the process. Here's how the S52 awards break down:
