Season 54

As usual, I have broken down the end of season Awards Ballot using Wins Above Replacement totals for each candidate. I am happy to provide more details on the process if/when you want them, but for the sake of simplicity I am going to keep just the results on this page. Since these totals are park-adjusted, I almost always vote for the candidate with the highest WAR total. Here is how everything shook out this season:
