From: http://myurl.com.tw/kbhc 10/31/2005 1:09 PM ET A-Rod, Sheff win Silver Slugger awards Duo recognized by American League coaches, managers By Mark Feinsand / MLB.com NEW YORK -- Awards season kicked off on Monday, as Alex Rodriguez and Gary Sheffield were two of the nine American League recipients of the 2005 Silver Slugger awards. Rodriguez, who was beaten out last season by Baltimore's Melvin Mora, captured his eighth Silver Slugger, having won in 1996, as well as each year from 1998-2003. "It's a special award, and I am very honored," Rodriguez said. "While I have been fortunate to win eight Silver Sluggers, this one is extra special because it's my first at third base, where there are so many outstanding hitters. I'm very thankful." A-Rod led the American League with 48 home runs, 124 runs scored, a .610 slugging percentage and a 1.031 OPS. He ranked second in the league with a .321 average and .421 on-base percentage, also finishing in the top five in RBIs (130) and walks (91). Rodriguez is also expected to contend for a Gold Glove at third base, as well as the AL MVP Award. Sheffield earned his fourth career Silver Slugger, his second in two years with the Yankees. Sheffield also won in 2003 with Atlanta and 1996 with Florida. Sheffield hit .291 with 34 home runs and 123 RBIs this season. He ranked eighth in the AL in homers and walks (78) and fifth in RBIs. Other Silver Slugger winners in the AL were Texas' Mark Teixeira and Alfonso Soriano, Baltimore's Miguel Tejada, Los Angeles' Vladimir Guerrero, and Boston's Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz and Jason Varitek. Louisville Slugger's Silver Slugger winners were determined by coaches and managers, who voted for the players they felt were the best offensive producers at each position in both the American and National Leagues in 2005. Selections were based on a combination of offensive statistics, including batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage, as well as the coaches' and managers' general impressions of a player's overall offensive value. Managers and coaches were not allowed to vote for players on their own team. The specially designed Silver Slugger Award will be presented to each player by a representative of the Hillerich & Bradsby Co., makers of Louisville Slugger, the Official Bat of Major League Baseball, in a ceremony early in the 2006 season.
