Awards:
NL MVP: Albert Pujols
NL Cy Young: Carlos Zambrano
NL ROY: Conor Jackson
NL MOY: Bobby Cox
AL MVP: A-Rod
AL Cy Young: Johan Santana(I'd pick Harden if I knew he was going to be healthy because of advantage in Wins)
AL ROY: Jason Kubel or Francisco Liriano(who ever gets more playing time earlier)
AL MOY: Ken Macha
Random Predictions:
-Oakland wins over 100 games easily.
-Harden goes down with unjury and misses significant time, but Sarloos and Kennedy fill the void and OAK dominates anyways.
-Liriano and Kubel get PT and heat up around the ASB and get twins into the Wild Card hunt with Santana leading the way, but it isn't enough because they are so bad in the first half.
-Beckett has dominant record(12-3,13-2,10-2 being possibilities), but misses over 10 starts and BOS misses playoffs.
-Soriano fails to make All-Star team, while Brad Wilkerson plays.
-Chris Young posts a sub 3.3 ERA, but wins less then 12 games.

I didn't put team names after the players there...I copied and pasted from the post above me just to get the categories down. Guess I didn't do a good job of deleting all the extra info.

AL Least
Bos [92]
NYY [91]
Tor [88]
Bal [76]
TB [71]
AL Central
Min [94]
Cle [94] (Wildcard)
Sox [88]
Det [72]
KC [60]
AL West
LAA [91]
A's [84]
Tex [79]
Sea [72]
NL East
Mets[94]
Atl [90](Wildcard)
Phi [85]
Was [79]
Fla [65]
NL Central
Stl [99]
Hou [85]
Mil [84]
Cubs[83]
Reds[77]
Pit [68]
NL West
SF [85]
SD [76]
LA [76]
Ari [69]
Col [68]
Min v. LAA - Twins win; Bos v. Cle - Tribe wins.

AL MVP: ARod
NL MVP: Bonds
AL CY Young: Johan Santana

Damn scribbner's error, that was DET [94] wildcard in the AL Central ;)
Not bad if I do say so myself. Overestimated the Red Sox, Cleveland, St. Louis, and the Giants. Seriously underestimated the Marlins but no one imagined their year. Overestimated the NL completely. The Pedro-less Mets are about equal to the A's in my mind, the rest of the NL field is abysmal.
Worst prediction: J thinking Morgan Ensburg for NL MVP. Snicker
I still can't believe the A's won the West. Take the Mariners out and Oakland finishes 72-67, the Angels 79-63. Play this season 10 times and the Angels win 8. Billy Beane with his smoke and mirrors. The Twins are going to go all Bruce Lee Enter the Dragon on that act.
