Jeff kent

Yep.  In 2000, Jeff Kent won the MVP and Silver Slugger, despite Bonds finishing better than him in all the listed categories.  His case was the only one where the better stats were all held by the SAME teammate.

Jeff Kent

3 more.

Kent has to be one with Bonds.

It’s question 46 and I added to it...but first yours

I'm excited.  :D  I was going to put a twist on it as well, so I'm curious what yours is.

Bonds?

Nope.  Every time Bonds won, he led his team in homers (though one year, Bonilla was close)

Cal Ripken?

Good guess, but he led his team in HRs that year.

Yep.  Bundy barely beat you to this one, and his situation was definitely unique.

Was #1 on his team in HRs and slugging.

Rollins

You've got two more here.  Jimmy Rollins in 2007 and Dustin Pedroia in 2008.

Mauer not only led his team in OBP and SLG during his MVP campaign, but the league as well.  But he DIDN'T lead in HRs, and he DID have starters with fewer SOs.  This was the best guess that isn't right.

GOT IT!  That was the last one.  Ichiro won ROY, MVP, and Silver Slugger his first year, despite not leading his team in any of those metrics.
