Baseball may be a great team game, but it's also the most focused on individual statistics. As MLB Showdown cards are focused entirely on a player's individual stats, a line of preseason predictions wouldn't be complete without a post about awards and all stars. Due to the star studded nature of this league, there will be some glaring omissions and controversy! If you feel we've missed someone or you feel a different player will take an award, feel free to comment!
