BBWAA PHILADELPHIA CHAPTER
ANNOUNCES 2013 PHILLIES AWARD WINNERS
Domonic Brown won the Mike Schmidt Award
for Most Valuable Player and Cliff Lee earned the Steve Carlton Award
for Most Valuable Pitcher in voting by the Philadelphia chapter of the
Baseball Writers’ Association of America, which
announced today the winners of its annual Phillies franchise awards.
Former manager Charlie Manuel and Kevin
Frandsen also were honored by the writers. Manuel won the Dallas Green
Award for Special Achievement. Frandsen won the Tug McGraw Award for
True Professionalism.
Brown received 78 percent of votes for
the Schmidt Award. He was an NL All-Star in his first full season as a
regular, and leads the Phillies in homers (27) and RBIs (81) despite
missing 22 games in the second half. Chase Utley
finished second in voting.
Lee was nearly a unanimous choice to win
his second Carlton Award. He received 92 percent of votes. Lee leads
the Phillies in wins (14), ERA among starters (2.95) and strikeouts
(201).
Manuel received 83 percent of votes for the Special Achievement Award, which he earned for becoming the 58th manager to win 1,000 games. Manuel previously won the Green Award in 2011 for surpassing Gene Mauch for most
wins as manager in franchise history.
Frandsen edged former Phillie Michael
Young for the True Pro Award given to the player who best exemplifies
McGraw’s good-natured personality and for his professional cooperation
with beat writers. Three other players and Manuel
also received votes.
The awards were instituted by the BBWAA
Philadelphia chapter in 2004. They will be presented on the field before
Saturday night's game against the New York Mets.
