For the third consecutive year, the Schaefer Mets Player of the Year is DAVID WRIGHT but unlike in 2006, few are likely to be surprised by David's victory. Wright led the Mets with 196 hits, 42 doubles, a .325 batting average, a .546 slugging percentage, and an on base percentage of .416. His 30 home runs and 107 runs batted in were both a close second to Carlos Beltran, and his 113 runs and 34 stolen bases were second to Jose Reyes.

The Pitcher of the Year, (please hold your boos) is TOM GLAVINE. For much of the season, the award was securely in John Maine's grasp, but Maine's post-All Star break tailspin allowed Glavine to surpass his point total. (Maine's no-hit bit in the Mets' last victory of the season was almost enough for him to regain the lead, but even had he rated a perfect 6, he still would have fallen short. Glavine led the Mets in the unspectacular category of innings pitched. He was third in wins with 13 (behind Maine and Oliver Perez, who each won 15) and his winning percentage of .619 was second only to Orlando Hernandez (.643) among starting pitchers who spend the full season in the Mets rotation. This is Glavine's second Pitcher of the Year award; he also won in 2006.

Great job.
I don't recall, were all of Brian Lawrence's points earned in his one victorious game? If so, is that a first for someone with as many points as he had?

Congrats to our winner, well deserved, and to Glavine who seemed to win by default. And mostly to you and me, the Schafer voters, and to the Schaefer vote coordinator, YSG.

We really should give DW a prize this year

How about Gotay holding off Castillo in a way that the Mets didn't hold off the Phils?

If we want to get publicity, the prize should be $$ to the David Wright Foundation.

I was totally stumped as to who would be Pitcher of the Year.
Several guys had their stretches where they were the best on the staff but none
kept it up the whole season.
Sorting the pitchers out for the year-end rankings is going to be tough.

When do we want to start working on the rankings?

It's was Maine's to lose, and he did. He was Pitcher of the Month for three of the first four months of the season.

Yancy, those cards are wonderful. Kudos on the graphics and keeping this thing going 162 times. You're my Schaefer POTY.

And I can't think of any greater commentary on 2007 that its pitcher of the year is Tom Glavine.

The cards are a fantastic touch Yance.

Fantastically done!

And personally, a simpleton like me looks at numbers and my brain hurts,
but I can look at baseball cards all day.
