Awards criteria, the Morgan vs. Hornsby case

[PJ Axelsson]

Interesting stuff here. Here is the awards page from a league I'm in:

MVP AWARD
W.Mays(DOU) 392
L.Gehrig(ETH) 357
R.Yount(DOU) 213
J.Morgan(DOU) 137
R.Hornsby(DIA) 99

However, in the All Star selections, Hornsby leads Morgan:
2B R.Hornsby(DIA) 3,137,355 J.Morgan(DOU) 2,660,607

In the Silver Slugger selections, Hornsby also leads Morgan:
2B R.Hornsby(DIA) J.Morgan(DOU)

So, what's the deal? I would assume offense carried more weight than defense, but then why does Hornsby lead in all star and silver slugger, but not in MVP? Do team wins factor in? My team is in first with a near .600 win %. Hmmm... :?

[geekor]

yes the amount of wins the team has does affect the MVP, just like in real life :P

For what it's worth, take a look at Morgan's (Fenway assisted) season.
