AL predictions
MVPPrince Fielder, Rangers
His power numbers dipped in two seasons with the Tigers, but the offseason trade that brought him to Texas should reinvigorate him. He could wind up driving in 130 runs and hit 40 homers with a .300 average.
Cy YoungChris Sale, White Sox
Even on a mediocre team, Sale should perform admirably enough to distance himself from his peers and earn the award for the first time in his young career.
Top rookieJose Abreu, White Sox
The Cuban defector is 27, and is a "rookie" in the same way Ichiro Suzuki was when he arrived in American at the turn of the century. It's almost not fair, but he should be able to win the hardware.
Top managerJoe Maddon, Rays
First manager firedMike Scioscia, Angels
