The Cincinnati chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America voted Arroyo as winner of both the Johnny Vander Meer Award as the Reds' Most Outstanding Pitcher and the Joe Nuxhall Good Guy Award.
Re the Most Outstanding Pitcher Award: So the message to new pitchers here is to kick ass for the first six weeks and your 11 attempts at win number ten and average end of the season will be completely forgotten.
Re the Good Guy Award: So the message to aspiring baseball writers here is that, if you want to joing the Baseball Writers' Association of America, you'll want to start using crack as soon as possible.
I was surprised too that Harang did not win anything. I like Bronson a lot but Harang was truly amazing to watch last season. Freel also gave so much heart in playing.
It was great to see that Rich Aurilia got the most valuable player award. It is too bad that Narron didn’t realize that all those days that he kept sticking Clayton in the lineup. Once he finally figured it out in August, Rich showed what he had.
