On this episode of the Replacement Level Podcast St. Louis Cardinals beat writer Derrick Goold and I discussed the 2012 MLB award season. Derrick detailed his NL Cy Young ballot, and explained why he voted for R.A. Dickey over Clayton Kershaw.

We also discussed the AL MVP debate between Mike Trout and Miguel Cabrera, and the endless amounts of obnoxious commentary coming from both sides. In addition to the 2012 MLB awards, Derrick and I discussed PEDs, the Hall of Fame, what to do with Mark McGwire & Barry Bonds, and we both offered suggestions on how to improve the current voting process.

I hope you listen to and enjoy the podcast, it can also be downloaded for free on iTunes.

On this episode of the Replacement Level Podcast Grantland’s Jonah Keri and I discuss the baseball Hall of Fame, the “steroid era”, and what’s next with advanced metrics. We also hit on why some players get overvalued and undervalued throughout their careers, re-evaluated the accomplishments of several players who played in the early 1900′s, and compared the ethical differences between modern athletes who used steroids to players of the past who used amphetamines. We also discussed several retired players who are being snubbed by the Hall of Fame voting process, players like Alan Trammell, Tim Raines, Jeff Bagwell, and Joe Torre.
