The collective minds of SB Nation are putting their heads together again and looking at the end of season awards, we will be doing a monthly vote to see where everyone stands. Here are the results of the first round of voting:
Most Valuable Player:

T3. Dwayne De Rosario and Edson Buddle, 5
5. Javier Morales, 3
6. Landon Donovan, 2
Defender of the Year
1. Omar Gonzalez, 15
2. Jamison Olave, 13
3. Osvaldo Alonso, 6
T4. Chad Marshall and Ugo Ihemelu, 2
Goalkeeper of the Year
1. Nick Rimando, 18
2. Donovan Ricketts, 11
3. Kevin Hartman, 6
T4. William Hesmer and Jimmy Nielsen, 3
more selections after the jump:

2. Andy Najar, 11
3. Tim Ream, 4
4. Michael Stephens, 3
Newcomer of the Year
1. Alvaro Saborio, 20
T2. Jimmy Nielsen and Joel Lindpere, 7
T4. Ryan Smith and Marko Perovic, 4
Comeback Player of the Year
1. Sebastien Le Toux, 13
2. Bobby Convey, 10
3. Kevin Hartman, 6
4. Bouna Coundoul, 5
5. Chris Albright, 3
6. Dan Gargan, 2
I agree with the vast majority of the selections but I did have Jason just ahead of everyone else in the coach of the year voting, and I also had Olave at the top of the defenders listing. Gonzalez is good but with out Gregg Berhalter next too him we have seen the LA defense crumbling in the last 7 MLS matches 2-4-1.
So what are your thoughts and who would you have voted for?

A glimpse behind the scenes
So do you think we just pick things out of a hat? Heck no, listen to the logic that sounderatheart uses:
MVP – Andy Williams is probably the biggest surpise on that list, and
I’m making the call purely on statistics, just not ones that you’ve
probably seen. He’s one of the top players in the league by Shots +/-,
Goals +/- and RSL basically doubles its opponents shooting % when he’s
on the pitch. He’s quiet on the pitch, but his team is just so much
better when he plays. Bommadog!
Of course he may be the only one who went to that depth, but it is cool that he voted Andy #3 with his MVP vote.
First time in sports history that a bench player received an MVP vote?
