Currently we have zero end of the season awards. We would like to add some such as:
League MVP (awarded to the highest scoring player in the league) Silver Slugger (top hitter) Cy Young (top Pitcher) Manager of the year Division Trophies (awarded to each division winner) Team MVP (top scorer from each team) Rookie of the year (top rookie scorer league wide)
When leaving your feedback please state if you are 1) ok with the addition of year end trophies in general 2) which trophies you like/dislike 3) suggest any that you would like to see added to this list

1) ok with the addition of year end trophies in general - I like the idea 2) which trophies you like/dislike - The ones listed seem fair.
Who would vote for the manager of the year?

Everyone in the league would get one vote. I will say this, if we go ahead and have "manager of the year" as a trophy, I think a manager should only be allowed to win it one year in a row. In other words, if manager x wins it in 2013, then he is not eligible to win it again until 2015. This way the same handful of guys don't always win it every year. Just seems to me we should try and get everyone involved.

Everyone except you . Seriously though, I do this in my football and hockey league and it works pretty well. It's a nice way for the league to give back to an owner without it being directly tied to statistical data.

I understand the sentiment behind the idea of not allowing a manager to be voted multiple years in a row....but seriously, what if that owner deserves it? Either you have an award available to everyone, every year or you don't have the award is my opinion. If a guy rebuilds his team in year one and deserves the award for the improvement and work he did THEN the next year is decimated w/ injuries but still works and makes the playoffs....you telling me we can't vote for him?

My concern is that it seems like the same 2 or 3 owners win the award EVERY year in our other leagues. And that ain't right. For example I tend to think that you, Randy, are a legit contender for the thing every year. But don't you think we should encourage guys to give other guys a chance once in a while? And while I totally get behind the idea that an owner, may indeed be worthy two years in a row, not winning it the second year is not in any way going to impact your team at all. There is no reward outside of some recognition. I guess what I'm saying is it seems to me that since there is no mathematical or statistical basis for this award, just one's opinion, we should do all that we can to not make this about the guy who is most popular but rather most deserving. And while someone like you may be the best team every year (and I mean that, honestly I do) being the best team should not be the requirement for being top manager. And it's been my experience that in the other leagues thats what tends to happen. I just want to see everyone get as fair a shake as possible is all

I voiced my opinion on it. This is definitely not an issue worth going hard after *Cough-PostSeasonRosterFreezeGRRRRRRRRRRR-Cough* I really don't like the idea of an award (albeit an award worth absolutely nothing more than a pat on the back), being not available to all owners. But to each their own.
