Next for the year-end awards is the 2010 Louisville Slugger Silver Slugger Award. This is the 30th anniversary of the award being established to honor the best hitter per position. Winners of the award were determined by voting conducted among Major League managers and coaches, who were asked to name the players at each position in the National and American Leagues who put up the best seasons at the plate. Voters were forbidden from voting for players from their own clubs.
Without further ado here is the list of the 2010 American and National League Silver Slugger Award winners (parenthesis denotes times won):

Joe Mauer C (4)
Miguel Cabrera 1B (3)
