Silver Slugger Awards were determined by a vote of MLB managers and coaches who selected the opposing players they felt were the best offensive producers at each position in the American and National Leagues.
While the list of winners had some carryover from 2005, including left fielder Manny Ramirez and designated hitter David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox, there were 13 first-time recipients among the 18 selections.
The under-25 age group winners included 24-year-old New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano, who batted.342, hit 15 home runs and drove in 78 runs during his second full MLB season; 23-year-old New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes (.300/19/81) and Atlanta Braves catcher Brian McCann, the baby of the '06 Silver Sluggers at age 22.

Winners were picked by major league managers and coaches, who were not allowed to vote for their own players.
So it was no surprise that Mora and Tejada were both chosen for the Silver Slugger award as the best offensive players and their respective positions.

 1982 Expos - BR Bullpen
Al Oliver would go on to have a brilliant season at the plate, winning the National League batting title with a.331 average, leading the league in runs batted in with 109, and adding 43 doubles and 22 home runs to the mix.
This defensive weakness could have been hidden if the rest of the team was strong in that department, but Speier's range at shortstop had declined significantly, left fielder Tim Raines was still learning how to play the outfield, and right fielder Warren Cromartie, never a strong defensive player, was really stretched in his new role.
Thus, even with two Gold Glove winners up the middle in Andre Dawson and Carter, the Expos were actually a weak defensive team.

One of the AL´s eight charter franchises, the White Sox dominated play during the early 20th century, winning 5 of the first 19 league pennants; but the team´s fortunes dropped precipitously after it became involved in what is debatably the greatest scandal in the history of the sport.
However, the evidence of their involvement (signed confessions) disappeared from the Cook County courthouse, and lacking that tangible evidence, a criminal trial (whose scope was limited to the question of defrauding the public) ended in acquittals of all the players.
