This is the first season where the new ballparks have been used, and I have adjusted the Wins Above Replacement calculations to reflect that. My goal is also to move towards a metric that accounts for league leading achievements when looking at who deserves the end of year awards. More on that to come if I have time to get around to it, until then I'll continue to use pure WAR for my ballot. Here's how this year's list breaks down:
