Jon Heyman's Midseason Awards; Cardinals & Pedro Martinez Talk

NL MVP
1. Albert Pujols, Cardinals. No contest here. His numbers (33 HRs, 82 RBIs, .336 average) are crazy, even for him. The absolute best.

NL Rookie of the Year
1. Colby Rasmus, Cardinals. After a poor spring he's showing the talent that everyone saw in him last spring (10, 32, .282).

NL Manager of the Year
3. Tony La Russa, Cardinals. Their one-man lineup has "finally caught up to them,'' in the words of one AL executive. But they're still right there.

Around the majors
The Yankees do not seem to be in the mix (even with the loss of Chien-Ming Wang), while the Brewers and Cardinals are seen as being on the periphery....concerning Pedro Martinez
