Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley were each awarded Silver Slugger Awards today. The award is given to the best offensive player at each position in each league. Neither of the selections comes as a surprise to those who watched these two guys 
play throughout the ’07 season.
Utley won the award for the second year in a row and Rollins won for the first time, two days after being awarded his first Gold Glove. He was one of five players to win a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger Award this year, the others being Ichiro Suzuki, Russell Martin, David Wright and former Phillie Placido Polanco.
