This is always a little tricky, because you’re comparing hitting with pitching, amongst other things. While I’ve separated those two below, I’ve tried to keep it mostly objective, based on particular numbers as mentioned. As before, if there are single-game performances which I missed, and you think are deserving of a nomination, make you case in the comments. You can also tell us which five (or so) of these candidates are most appropriate to make the final ballot, on Thursday.
