Are these the "official" '09 MLB awards? No. But are they more important than the BBWAA awards? Well, no, they aren't that either. But these were voted on by SB Nation's baseball bloggers, who are as knowledgeable about the game as any writers out there -- in our completely biased opinion, of course. Plus, our bloggers are fans. And you're a fan. And the players play for the fans, not the BBWAA. So we can all agree that these are better than the real awards, yes? Good. Glad we settled that. Now onto the results! (Note: Our bloggers' MVP winners will be posted here Thursday.)
