TEAMS: Milwaukee Brewers, Pittsburgh Pirates
First baseman Prince Fielder and right-hander Yovani Gallardo were named the Milwaukee Brewers' most valuable player and most valuable pitcher, respectively, for 2009 in balloting conducted by the Milwaukee chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America.
Other award winners were closer Trevor Hoffman as top newcomer, reliever Todd Coffey as unsung hero and veteran infielder Craig Counsell as recipient of the "Good Guy" award.
Fielder, who received all six first-place votes in ballots cast, had a record-breaking year in Brewers history. With 141 RBI, which tied Philadelphia's Ryan Howard for the major-league lead, he shattered the club mark of 126 established by Cecil Cooper in 1983. Fielder also walked 110 times, eclipsing the club record of 99 set by Jeromy Burnitz in 2000.

Chasing Lefties
