I don't really know how I missed this last week, but former Silver Hawks outfield Carlos Gonzalez won a Silver Slugger Award. This is in addition to the Gold Glove that he also brought home last week.
He'll likely receive votes later this week for NL MVP, and honestly has a legitimate shot at winning it.
Here's a good breakdown of the three main candidates (Pujols, Votto, and Gonzalez -- all of whom played in the Midwest League).
You tell me, who do you vote for? I'm a Reds fan and a complete homer, so my vote goes to Votto. I also think getting your team to the playoffs should count for something. But I'm willing to listen to other arguments.
