"While his arm didn't take the Philadelphia Phillies where they hoped this October, Roy "Doc" Halladay is still picking up the wins despite his season being over.

Halladay is the Players' Choice selection as the National League's outstanding pitcher, finishing ahead of St. Louis Cardinals righthander Adam Wainwright and Colorado Rockies ace Ubaldo Jimenez in the annual vote of players. The results of the vote were announced this morning by the Major League Baseball Players Association.

Tampa Bay Rays lefty David Price won the American League equivalent.

Halladay pitched a perfect game during the regular season, pitched a no-hitter in the playoffs and was one of two pitchers to finish in the top five all major pitching categories in the NL. Wainwright was the other. Halladay led the NL with 21 wins, four shutouts, nine complete games and 250 2/3 innings pitched. He was second with 219 strikeouts and he finished third, behind Wainwright's 2.42 ERA, with a 2.44 ERA.

Voting for the Players' Choice awards were done in the final weeks of the regular season on ballots passed out in the clubhouse."
