2005 MLB awards presented by GMC[R]: we are professional grade[TM].(KNOW IT ALL)
PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Andruw Jones
CF, BRAVES
At 28, Jones had the breakout season the Braves had hoped for since he was a 19-year-old World Series star. He brought a widened stance into spring training and stuck with it even after a slow April. His persistence paid off. Jones led the majors with 51 homers--a franchise record--and the National League with 128 RBIs. He was the first big-leaguer since Alex Rodriguez in 2002 to top 50 homers and became the 12th player to reach 300 career homers before age 30.
What set Jones apart was how he elevated his game when he was needed most. He carried the offense through June when Chipper Jones was out, and he hit an N.L.-best 10 homers in close-and-late situations. He also continued to play center field as well as anyone in the game.
The TOP five voted on by 498 major leaguers 1 Andruw Jones, CF, Braves 194 1/2 2 Derrek Lee, 1B, Cubs 126 3 Albert Pujols, 1B, Cardinals 63 4 Alex Rodriguez, 3B, Yankees 38 5 David Ortiz, DH, Red Sox 35 1/2
A.L. MANAGER OF THE YEAR
