It was a pretty good month for a select few hitters while the pitching was just unreal with 4 starters and 3 relievers earning nominations.

I'll go with JD to be different since his numbers are so similar to Carlos' outside of RBI's, which are a bit arbitrary since Carlos cleared the bases by the time JD batted, and the defense for #23 was pretty good last month.

 

As for pitcher, that's a VERY tough choice. I went with el titan de bronze because you can't vote for the ENTIRE bullpen (not just the big 3, although they were the best), plus going 3-1 in a month with our offense is an incredible feat.

I went with CQ and the Big 3 ... I was thinking Dye and Floyd, but for a bullpen with sewer expectations and performing this well have to give them the nod. CQ just deserves it and is what this team was about for a lot of games.

I can't tell you what he did in just the month of May but for the season Carlos Quentin's "clutch" splits are incredible. For as close as CQ and JD's stats are for the month of May Carlos was getting it done when it meant the most.

 

.360/.469/.660/1.129 in 64 PA w/ RISP

.412/.565/.706/1.271 in 23 PA w/ RISP & 2 OUT

.371/.463/.743/1.206 in 41 PA Close & Late

.361/.451/.770/1.221 in 71 PA during innings 7-9

.385/.468/.923/1.391 in 47 High Leverage PA (+ 6 homeruns)

 

 

Not really trying to put down Dye, I've just been dying to post CQ's splits. He's been at his absolute best in clutch situations.

I went with quentin for obvious reasons, although I think alexei could be gunnin for that stop in june. contreras as best pitcher, gotta love what the big 3 are doing but contreras is just locked in.

As good as the big three have been I'd have to say Contreras is the most inspirational to the rest considering the downward spiral he seemed to be in the last couple years.

CQ and Jose. I felt that Jose deserved this one, especially after the way he looked last year. I admit it, I thought he was done and wanted to trade him for a bag of balls to ditch his contract. He's definitely proven me wrong thus far, and has looked damn impressive.

Went with CQ and Jose on this one.

 

 

I almost went with the "all Cuban" vote this month, but no matter how happy I am with Alexei's success... CQ's numbers are just unreal.

CQ still gets my vote. And I went with Jose but damn that's a tough choice, the "big 3" deserve it as well.

I forgot to post. :bang

 

Quentin of course for hitter, he's just THE MAN.

If it weren't for Josh Hamilton, he'd be on every SportsCenter. (Okay, I won't go that far. He's not on the Red Sox, Yankees or Mets.)

 

As much as I have been notorious on Soxtalk for my berating and trade-wanting of Contreras in the past, he's the most obvious choice.

 

I hope that today's hitting continues.

 

If it does, 2008 is the White Sox's year.

CQ and Contreras

 

By the way, that Alexei pic always cracks me up

CQ obviously although JD certainly held his own and I didn't realize their stats were so close together.

 

Gavin and Danks were good, but I've got to go with Contreras... WOW. He's turned it around quite nicely.

The pitchers were a real tough choice. I ended up going with Contreras, but the pen has been incredible, there is no denying that.

It's nice to actually have to think about who I'm voting for. Hopefully for June I'll have to think even harder. :headbang

Alexei and Count. With consistent playing time, Ramirez is showing signs of being a productive and exciting player. Count is also showing signs of putting 2007 behind him.

 

I wish there was a choice for DeWayne Wise, though.

Yeah but the question isn't "who played pretty well for the final 2 weeks of May" it's "who was the most productive player for the entire month of May." For as well as Alexei played over the final 15 games of May his line wasn't anything amazing (.308/.327/.481/.808, really good but not crazy productive) meanwhile Quentin was single handedly winning at least 8 games for the Sox over the course of 30 days and greatly exceeding Ramirez's productivity over a much larger timespan.

All clutch situations with an OPS over 1.100 is just sick.

That being said, I'm still not changing my vote.

CQ and Contreras.

Carlos & Jose.

i went with alexei + bullpen, no reason needed for pen but as far as alexei goes, i feel given his lack of experience at this level, his performance has been remarkable

What an amazing month and a hell of a performance by Octavio. Hard to believe a middle reliever having 24 strikeouts in a month (only 14 IP). :notworthy

 

That said, I'll go with CQ and the bullpen trifecta.

It boggles my mind that anyone can vote for anyone other than Carlos. :huh

It's Q and the Count for me.
