McGehee won for the NL, so it's the same two winners as the Sporting News award.

Felix, Cano, and Seager. I guess every award is like the Oscars now?

Thought I'd link to this since it's buried in Rotographs, the fantasy-oriented part of Fangraphs. Nice breakdown of small-sample-in-Seattle WTF is wrong with Austin Jackson?
