I had a difficult time giving my prediction to Cespedes especially after Game 1, first pitch, inside the park homer of the World Series, but after looking into the stats, he stood above the other guys.  I really think Pillar deserves the AL CF award, but it will probably go to Trout.  The AL SS was difficult to choose from.  And even though he had the stats, Nick Markakis didn’t make the final cut.
