MLB: Early candidates for Major League Baseball’s top awards

Yes, we know it’s very early in the MLB season. No, it isn’t too early to think about the major league’s top award winners. Some players have excelled early on and have their sights set on the hardware.

Ah, way too early MLB predictions, how they’ve been missed. We’re almost at the end of April, though, and that means that it’s a prime time to take a look at players who have started off red-hot.

As it’s been the case the past few seasons, some players have become near lock’s for certain awards, while other’s remain up for grabs.

Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player awards are the granddaddy of them all. In the National League, frontrunner’s for the Most Valuable Player and Rookie of the Year look fairly clear. On the other hand, in the American League, it seems as though the MVP award is completely up in the air.

But, we have to remember, it’s still just April. A lot can and will change from now until the end of the season. After all, do we think Ryan Flaherty or Asdrubal Cabrera will keep up their hot start’s to win the MVP?

The answer is no.

So, with that, let’s take a look at the MLB players who lead races for the leagues biggest awards.
