Mike Trout, who lost the 2012 American League MVP award to Miguel Cabrera, is a popular pick to win the award in his second season.

ESPN's SweetSpot bloggers voted for the preseason MVP and Trout won handily. He collected 33 of the 47 first-place votes.

The writers selected Justin Verlander to win the Cy Young and Wil Myers to win the Rookie of the Year.
