All of the awards are out now.  From MVP (at last) Mike Trout to the managers of the year.  How did the Jays do? Not so good, but no shock although some surprises.

Results with Blue Jays and other notables...

Bautista's 6th place finish was the best result a Jay has had since 2011 when he finished 3rd (4th in 2010).  Cito Gaston in 2010 was the last Blue Jay other than Bautista to make a top 5 (5th in Manager voting).  Halladay's 5th in Cy voting in 2009 the last player to make a top 5.

No Gold Gloves this year.  Dickey got one last year.  No Jays catcher ever has won, no Jays 1B (although Olerud won 3 times in Seattle), Hudson in 2005 won at 2B, Gruber in 1990 at 3B, Fernandez in 1986-1989 at SS, Wells in the OF (2004-2006), Green in 1999, White in 1991-1995 (plus 2 pre-Jays) to give you a full outfield.   Others to get GG's include Barfield in RF twice, and  Alomar at 2B all 5 years he was here.

Silver Slugger was given out to Bautista in the OF.  Other times at each position here are CA: none, 1B: Delgado (2003/2000/1999), McGriff 1989, 2B: Hill 2009, Alomar 1992, Garcia 1982, 3B: Gruber 1990, SS: none, OF: Bautista (2014/2011/2010), Wells 2003, Green 1999, Carter 1992/1991, Bell 1985-1987, Barfield 1986, Moseby 1983, DH: Lind 2009, Canseco 1998, Molitor 1993, Winfield 1992.
