Nice to see the Rays won a few midseason awards from Tom Verducci.
AL Rookie of the Year Award
1. Evan Longoria, Tampa Bay
2. Joba Chamberlain, New York
3. Jacoby Ellsbury, Boston
Bottom line: The Yankees are being rewarded for using Chamberlain carefully and smartly to wind up with the most valuable commodity in baseball: a power-throwing ace. Longoria, though, has the edge to this point because of the way Chamberlain's innings were managed.
AL Manager of the Year Award1. Joe Maddon, Tampa Bay
2. Ron Gardenhire, Minnesota
3. Bob Geren, Oakland
Bottom line: Maddon could be on the verge of something historic here, so he gets the edge in a strong field.
Here is hoping some of the players pick up some and Kazmir gets the nod for the AL Cy Young award.

I think Trembley
ought to be in consideration for Manager of the Year at this point, although in my view Maddon is the clear leader. No argument with the list above; all are in contention while Baltimore is very much on the fringe. But Baltimore should be dead last with that team and they remain hovering around .500. Ordinarily the manager gets some credit for that kind of performance above expectations.
