WTG Andrew!

Andrew McCutchen has been named the 2013 National League Most Valuable Player by the Baseball Writers Association of America. McCutchen spent 2013 as a force in all facets of the game, batting .317 with a .380 on-base percentage and .489 slugging percentage, 21 home runs, 84 RBIs, 27 stolen bases and 97 runs scored. For his efforts he was also named a Silver Slugger Award winner and a nominee for a Gold Glove Award.
