October 2, 2006
2nd year player Robinson Cano of the NY Yankees won the AL batting title with a .373 BA. Boston's David Ortiz (55) outdistanced the White Sox' bash duo of Jim Thome (53) and Jermaine Dye (49) for the Home Run Crown. LA's Vladimeer Guerrero (140) won the RBI Crown. TB's Carl Crawford (56) won the Stolen Base title.
Minnesota's Johann Santana (24-7, 2.87 ERA, 259 K) was the top pitcher in the AL. Toronto's Roy Halladay, Detroit's Kenny Rogers, and NY's Randy Johnson were other 20 game winners in the league. Relief pitching was a priority this year and 5 pitchers saved 40 or games. Toronto's BJ Ryan (1-1, 41 S, 1.00 ERA, 72 IP) was probably the best of that group.
