 ==== ROCKEM AWARDS ====
-{{::rockem.jpg?nolink&792}}\\  Continuing a tradition that is //Meh// at best...unlike this picture which is **Boosh** at worst.\\ \\ __**MVRSFP**__- The Most Valuable Rockem Sockem Fantasy Player goes to....\\ \\ [[http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/8996/|Jose Altuve]]- In a year when the winner had more of a team then a superstar carrying him the votes were split in my brain. Kershaw or Trout couldn't win since Mike and Vig could have finished 12th and 11th respectivlly without them. So lets look to the little man who ended the season ranked 5th overall and got BK into Free Eats, Congrats Gigante, you may be three apples high, but you won this fake award, so that's something.\\ \\ __**Rockem Sockem CY**__- Goes to the best fantasy pitcher this year, and the voters have spoken:\\ \\ [[http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/8180/|Clayton Kershaw]]- He may not have helped Mike out of the wood paneled basement of Rockem, but when you are #1 in overall standings you deserve this miniscule acknowledgement.\\ \\ __**The Zeddemore Poles Coach of the Year Award**:__ Goes to the best Rockem Manager (named for Winston's Historic 11 point last day jump in 2008):\\ \\  Jay Moon- In a year where he had some surprises (Bradley, V-Mart), there really wasn't one guy who dominated and if you can win the league like that you deserve the best manager crown.\\ \\ __**The Eric Hinske Memorial**__ (he's dead right?!) goes to the Biggest Bust of the Year:\\ \\ [[http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/8285/|Chris Davis]]- As with every year this one could have a lot of candidates: Hanley, Votto, Byrce, Prince, CarGanzoBeans. all got consideration, but I am giving it to Davis because he wasn't hurt all season...he just sucked then cheated. If Bk gets 20 more HR's and a 270 AVG from his first round pick he could have won his 26th Rockem Championship.\\ \\ __**The Edwin Encarnacion Elation**__ goes to the biggest positive surprise of the year who was drafted late (after 10th Round)\\ \\  Tie- [[http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6853/|Victor Martinez]], [[http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/8575/|Michael Bradley]], [[http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7790/|John Lester]]- This is where J Moon won the league. Late round picks who played up to first round level. Congrats on picking out these lucky seasons Moon, it all went your way in 2014...except for pissing the bed and sleeping outside...ZING!\\ \\ __**The Nomar Broken Everything Award**__ (Player's injuries who sink a team):\\ \\ [[http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/9642/|Masahiro Tanaka]]- Another award that every year has tons of candidates: Votto, Prince, Byrce, Your Mom's but if Tanaka stays healthy, even without a bullpen Fatty would have won this thing, so we gotta give him this fake award. Way to fuck up douche bag.\\ \\ __**The Cliff Lee Award**__: (FA Pickup that changes the league, named for Bull snatching Lee in Rockem 7)\\ \\ [[http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/8640/|Chris Carter]]- We all had him at one point during hte season but BK (of course) had him at the right time. The dissapoint that Davis was, evened out in the surprise bat Carter provided. So enjoy the free eats BK, Hurricane Carter helped swing you there.
