Now that the Marshall A's season is over, it's time to break out the hardware...

MVP
Tough choice here, but I'm going with Dereck Salisbury as my pick. Salisbury perfected the catalyst role this season at the leadoff spot. He ended the regular season with a .375 batting average and a team leading 35 runs scored. He also led the team with 12 doubles and finished second in stolen bases. Salisbury was also a vacuum in the field, rarely letting anything get through the right side of the infield.
Also considered: Andrew Kinney (.478 AVG, 28 RBI's, 3 HR's), Nate Koppi (.396 AVG, 23 runs, 26 RBI's), Chace Pollock (.365 AVG, 28 runs, 6 SB's), Aaron Lindstrom (7-1, 40 K's)

Cy Young
This is really a 3-horse race, but Aaron Lindstrom is my selection. Lindstrom proved he had what it takes to be the #1 starter for the A's, leading the team with 7 victories in the regular season. Lindstrom also struck out the second most batters (40).
Also considered: Matt Paulsen (4-4, 3.56 ERA), Bobby Zellmann (4-0, 1.82 ERA)

Rookie of the Year
Hands down, this award goes to Andrew Kinney - who gave the A's their most feared hitter in recent memory. Even after missing a month of the season, Kinney finished the year leading the A's in batting average (.478), RBI's (28), triples (5) and homeruns (3).
Also considered: Bobby Zellmann (.351 AVG, 16 runs, 16 RBI's), Tyler Peschong (.250 AVG, 8 runs, ingame Twitter updates)

Comeback Player of the Year
Derek Rignell takes home this award. After a few year hiatus from the A's, Rignell returned to provide a live bat to the lineup. He finished the regular season with a stellar .371 batting average, as well as 14 runs and 22 RBI's.
Also considered: John Petersen (3.38 ERA, 1 save)
