Jeter, Rodriguez and Posada win Silver Sluggers

From Bryan Hoch:

Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada and Alex Rodriguez were rewarded with American League Silver Slugger Awards, recognizing their offensive contributions in helping the Yankees to a 94-victory season and the AL Wild Card.

Louisville Slugger's Silver Slugger Award winners were determined in balloting of Major League coaches and managers who were asked to vote for the players they felt were the best offensive producers at each position in both leagues in 2007. (MLB.com)

Congratulations to Jeter and Posada.

Carlos Pena, Placido Polanco, Ichiro Suzuki, Vladimir Guerrero, Magglio Ordonez and David Ortiz rounded out the American Leaders winners.
