Here is information on 2007 award winners for those who asked:

NL Cy Young: Josh Johnson of Philadelphia.
The 23-year-old Phillies star fashioned a 20-6 won-loss record in 2007 with a 2.89 ERA. In 190 innings of work and 32 starts, Johnson struck out 172 while giving up 159 hits and 67 walks. He held opposing batters to a .227 average. Author's Note: But he stunk in the playoffs...

NL MVP: Prince Fielder of San Francisco
Fielder compiled a .373 batting average and a .452 on-base percentage this year. In 160 games he piled up 228 hits, 38 doubles, 5 triples, 76 home runs, 178 RBIs and 145 runs scored. (I checked: he walked 84 times and struck out 110).

NL Rookie of the Year: William Leonard of Atlanta
William Leonard, 1B, played in 128 games, batted .292, collected 149 hits in 510 at-bats, 43 home runs, 115 RBIs, 98 runs scored, 42 walks and compiled a .348 OBP.

AL Cy Young: Dennys Reyes of Boston
Reyes excelled with an impressive 22-6 record in 35 starts. In 215.2 innings he yielded 177 hits and 55 walks, while striking out 193 and compiling a fine 2.59 ERA.

AL MVP: Grady Sizemore of Boston
In his fine season, he compiled a .331 batting average with 197 hits, 46 doubles, 6 triples and 35 home runs, along with 137 RBIs and 138 runs scored.

AL Rookie of the Year: Tomas Sierra of Anaheim (fictional i believe)
The 24-year-old novice carved out a .298 average during the regular season, playing in 159 games and gathering 176 hits in 590 at-bats. Sierra hit 31 home runs while driving in 116 runs and scoring 95 times. He also picked up 75 walks to post a .377 on-base percentage.
