Does anyone know when this seasons MVPs are supposed to be announced? I looked them up thinking they'd be given by now, this long after the season is finished. Does this mean that unlike the other Sports, the PostSeason factors into the voting?

cam, im not sure if the post season factors in or not, my read on it is, it should not. the award is given for what that individual accomplished during the season. if his team didn't make the playoffs, he still can be the mvp.

Thanks guys. So i read Trout and Kershaw are favourites, does everyone agree with those too? I also read an article on Trout being weaker than he was the last two seasons (particularly defensively), but the fact he was going up against a prime Carbrera stopped him from winning it.
It's also a bit weird that Kershaw won the Triple Crown in 2012 and failed to win it but he's fav now. I suppose he was better all round this year and more important to his team?

Nope.
They just realize that they fucked up two years ago. This is tantamount to Scorsese winning Best Director for "The Departed," when he should have won it for both "Raging Bull" and "Goodfellas."
You're a film buff, Cam. That was for you, kid.

Thanks for that PB, my favourite Taxi Driver would've worked better though .
Obviously i'm just starting to get into the Sport so i can barely discuss the Sport with you guys, but Kershaw looks unbelievable imo he seems alot rarer than someone like Trout. No idea why but i've been alot more interested in pitchers than Position Players, and from the limited footage i've seen the only more impressive pitches i've seen have came from Greg Maddux. The way Maddux' pitches changed direction at the last possible moment is incredible, it's the sort of thing that Steroids wouldn't have had much effect on because it was just pure talent.
Maddux was a beast. Very very smart. Looked like a mad scientist up on the mound. He like kershaw however, didn't do all that great in the postseason. Still wound up getting a ring though. It's good that you're getting into baseball. It's never too late to starting getting interested in America'so past time. You should check out some of Pedro Martinez's highlights sometime. At his peak, he was probably the greatest of all time. Next to Koufax's peak of course.
there were a lot of pitchers who started off great, and went into drugs, Dwight gooden comes to mind, if he would have layed off the drugs he would have been sensational.
Clemens before he started juicing was suberb.
