M&M Tandem Strikes Again

For the second time in three years, the Minnesota Twins M&M duo snapped up the silver slugger awards for their respective positions.  In 2006, Mauer and Morneau both grabbed the awards without opposition.  This year, while I am sure Mauer grabbed it with flying colors, Morneau probably just barely won the award, especially considering the other 1B sluggers in the AL: Carlos Pena, Miguel Cabrera, and (I suppose) Kevin Youkilis.

Mauer has now won a Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, AL Batting Crown, and the Legacy Award.

Morneau has won his second award of the season: Silver Slugger and the NLBM Player of the Year.  Morneau is considered one of the top candidates to win the MVP award which will be given out next week.
