Congratulations to Jay; he earned it!
Wow. Ian Desmond is a lot better player than I thought.
Not really sure how Strasburg won over Mike Leake.
Anyway, great job, Jay!
If evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve!
One place where Leake has a clear advantage was in sacrifices- 7 to 2. This is one area actually important with pitchers and what they are often asked to do (whether or not it is right to ask them).
The league leader in sacrifices was Cincinnati's own Johnny Cueto with 17 (tied with Juan Pierre)

Hardly - Leake also scored 8 runs to Strasburg's 4, had 18 hits to Strasburg's 13, and Leake hit 2 homers to Strasburg's 1. Strasburg did have more RBIs than Leake, 7 to 3.
If this is a hitting award, Leake is the better hitter. Higher average, more hits, OBP and he hit more home runs.
