Yankees 2017 MVP and the rest of their regular season awards

Winner: Chase Headley

WAR: 2.0

Headley had a hot April and a terrible May. But he arrives at the end of the season with a slash of .278/.358/.416 with 12 home runs and 30 doubles.

However, Chase is no longer an everyday player; thus a role player. But I wish every regular player had his attitude. He has gone from the starting third baseman to starting first baseman, to splitting his time between first, third, and the bench.

Through it all, Headley has shown up every day with a gutsy, gritty attitude. He plays hard, works to get the best from his waning talents, and always pulls for the team first.

And he wins this award because he is the only player on this list who came into the season with the Yankees thinking he was going to play every day.

The Days of Wine and Roses

Those days are almost gone now.

By this time next week, the regular season will be over and we will all be waiting for Tuesday night’s first pitch. But this surprising 2017 New York Yankees team would not have completed their successful regular season journey without all of these players playing at a high level, and more.

They won’t all be around for the playoffs. But the Yankees would not have qualified for the Postseason without them. And making the playoffs is the only award any player, or fan, ever really cares about.

So, congratulations to all of them, your 2017 New York Yankees. And let’s hope these aren’t the only awards they win this year.
