No opinion needed on these. Every player got 1 vote for every All Star appearance, MVP Award, Cy Young Award, Rookie of the Year Award, Silver Slugger & Gold Glove won. Ramon Jang & Troy Harper also got a bonus point for being inducted into the Hall of Fame. A lot of players played multiple positions throughout the decade. In those cases, they were assigned to whichever position they won the majority of their awards at.
Players are listed next to the team where they won the most awards. Votes are listed in parentheses next to each player.

Records Updated
On the Hall of Fame page, the single season & all-time records have been updated.
And let's just get it out of the way now, Season 11 was the year of Christopher Ramirez.
The future Hall of Famer, who already held the single season IP, K & ERA records, significantly lowered his single season ERA from 1.72 to an unrepeatable 1.23. He also took over the single season wins mark, besting Orlando Javier's season 2 mark of 27 by one. And he lowered teammate Henry Mackowiak's single season whip mark from 0.89 to 0.82.
Ramirez now holds 5 of the 6 major single season pitching records. Only Jeremi Warden's 53 saves seems out of the question at this point, but who knows what the future holds for this man.
In the career records department, Ramirez added to his already impressive IP & K marks, putting them further out of danger of ever being broken. He also lowered his career whip (1.01), which was a record he held. And after chasing Dennys Shin for 10 seasons, he finally took over the top spot in career victories by earning 23 more victories than Shin in season 11. Lastly, his 1.23 ERA lowered his career mark to 2.43, which is now the all-time lowest career ERA.
So, like single season, Ramirez now holds 5 of the 6 major pitching records in the career field. The only unreachable record for him is Frank Harris' 457 career saves, which even Ramirez won't be able to topple someday. Harris is 43 saves away from becoming the first ever to 500 career saves.
Speaking of Frank Harris, the closer's career whip (0.89) and ERA (2.16) are both lower than Ramirez's, but because he hasn't pitched 802 career innings, he doesn't qualify. As has been talked about for awhile, barring injury season 12 is the year he hits that innings pitching plateau. Might he steal some of those career records away from Ramirez?
On the offensive side of the ball, not a single record changed hands. All single season remained just as they were.
And on the career list, Hernandez & Bryant continued putting distance between themselves and the field, for the most part.
Billy Hernandez is now only 38 home runs away from 600 all-time, while #2 on the list, Sean O'Toole still needs 32 home runs to hit 500.
On the stolen base list, free agent Nicholas Bryant had a career worst 24 SB's last year, while #2 Danys Castillo, 8 years younger, had 88, gaining 64 on the leader. Castillo now trails Bryant by 283 stolen bases.
These records can all be viewed on the Hall of Fame page.

Career Coaching Victories
For yet another year, pvc4twenty remains #1 on the all-time list, and sharkeyke continues to close the gap in the #2 spot, gaining 16 wins on the Shuffle this season.
Ohiopirate was the big winner this year, taking advantage of an NL-leading 110 wins as well as the absence of longdayintro and snarfuller to jump from 6th to 3rd. Dupala jumped one spot from 5th to 4th, falling behind OP but leapfrogging the two gone members.
Longdayintro settled into #5, for one year. He'll fall again next season, but should remain in the Top 10 thru at least season 13, while #8 snarfuller is probably spending his last season in the Top 10.
Badercubed & johnderasmo each moved up one spot, to #6 & #7, respectively. Kalikgod remained in the #9 spot.
Rockybill1, the 3rd Top 10 guy to leave the league after last season, plummeted from #10 to #17, becoming the only guy to exit the Top 10 this season. He's replaced by original member dubabe401, who recently won his first division title!
