Forum: Talk Rays
|
The local chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America handed out its annual awards before today’s game.
Jason Bartlett was voted the Rays’ Most Valuable Player, Evan Longoria was a unanimous choice as the Outstanding Rookie and Cliff Floyd received the Paul C. Smith Champion Award.
Bartlett (40 points) topped Longoria (33) and Carlos Pena (27) in MVP voting.
Longoria had no competition for top rookie, with Shawn Riggans placing second and Fernando Perez and Justin Ruggiano tying for third.
Floyd edged out last year’s winner, Pena, for the Champion Award, which goes to the player who best exemplifies the spirit of true professionalism on and off the field. Rocco Baldelli placed third in balloting that saw 12 different Rays receive at least one vote.
