Nice!

Outfield prospect Omar De Los Santos is your Florida State League MVP.



Omar hit .272/.339/.459//.798 with 23 2B, 5 3B, 16 HR, and 62 RBI. He also stole 70 bases in 85 attempts. Both the power and the thieving represented breakthrough numbers for him as he led the circuit in both hits and stealz.

[bLOCKQUOTE]'dians grab franchise-record 4 Gold Glove awards[/bLOCKQUOTE]

I hadn't seen this way of describing the Cleveland franchise ('dians) but I guess its a way to "honor" both the new name (GuarDIANS) and old (InDIANS)?

[MFS62]

It will be interesting to see how high (and even if) De Los Santos ranks on the Top Mets 20 prospect lists. He may have the "old for his level" label that lowers the ranking of some prospects who turned out to be just fine(e.g.- Wade Boggs).

I hope that was because of the reduction of playing opportunity when the minors contracted during COVID.

I think this guy can be very good.

This just in:

Jeff McNeil won the Silver Slugger Award for second base.

McNubbin becomes the first Met to win a Silver Slugger since Yoenis Céspedes in 2016. He is the first to win the award as a secondbaseman since Edgardo Alfonzo in 1999. Catcher Mike Piazza has won the most Silver Slugger trophies as a Met, with five.



Ex-Met Brandon Drury becomes the first-ever National League winner of the award as a utility player for his work as a Red and as a Padre. Seeing as he hadn't hit a lick for three years before joining the Mets, I think there's some small reflected glory on the Mets organization for that one too.

One night after Buck Showalter is named NL Manager of the Year, Edwin Diaz collects a second place vote and a pair of fifth place votes to finish ninth in NL Cy Young balloting.

Max Scherzer finished 5th in WAR for NL pitchers. Got no votes.

Alonso 8th, Lindor 9th in NL MVP voting. Scattered down-ballot support for McNeil, Diaz and Marte.

Diaz won the Mariano Rivera AL version back in 2018.



Adding the old Rolaids Award and the short time concurrent DHL awards, Diaz is the 22nd multiple time winner, and the sixth to do it in both leagues. The others;



Rollie Fingers Padres 1977-1978, 1980 and Brewers 1981

Craig Kimbrel Braves 2012-2014 and Red Sox 2017

Lee Smith Cardinals 1991, 1992 and Orioles 1994

Jose Valverde Diamondbacks 2007 and Tigers 2011

Randy Myers Reds 1993 and Orioles 1997

[stevejrogers]

Benitez in 2001, and Franco in 1990 are the only other Meryl winners.

I read that Diaz was named to the First Team, All-MLB team, and Lindor and Scherzer were named to the Second-Team, All-MLB team.



I'm all in for giving Mets recognition. But I don't think I've ever heard of this before.

Maybe they're not proud of heads at FOX.

After all, they're run by Ruppert Murdoch.

Wonder if the Mets will re-organize their Hall to make Keith and Ronnie multiple time honorees.

[Frayed Knot]

I suppose the Willie, Mickey, Duke award beats getting the Moe, Larry, Curly ... but either sounds good to me.

One last batch of Met awards for 2022:



http://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2022/12/05/ring-around-qbc/Jay Horwitz honored with the Gil Hodges Unforgettable Fire Award earlier this month at the Queens Baseball Convention.



http://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2022/12/20/valuable-by-his-presence-and-his-absence/Starling Marte named Richie Ashburn Most Valuable Met by a relatively reputable local outlet.



http://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2022/12/27/satisfaction-of-whats-to-come/Something Short of Satisfaction recognized with the Nikon Camera Player of the Year Award (a.k.a. the definitive Met vibe to emerge from the past twelve months).
