What’s a veteran award? As of now I’d pick Mike Trout for MVP - that’s an easy one. AL Cy I guess I’ll pick King Felix but that’s a close call. My NL MVP is also McCutcheon. As for Cy, earlier in the year it was Dickey, but now I’m voting for Johnny Cueto. ---

I think I’m for Price in the AL Cy, but the rest are pretty clear at this point. Posey’s gonna be sneaking up on 'Cutch… Joe ---
