The Roberto Clemente Award goes to the Major Leaguer who “best exemplifies the game of baseball, sportsmanship, community involvement and the individual’s contribution to his team.” Clayton Kershaw won it last year. The 2013 nominees — one per team — were just announced and are listed below.

And now my annual complaint, albeit a minor one: Baseball has set up a fan voting aspect to this. Which makes no sense because (a) I can see no way which your average fan can gauge a player’s community involvement, either quantitatively or qualitatively; and (b) if they can’t, it’s just a fan popularity vote, which shouldn’t be a part of an award that is about something like community involvement. OK, I’m done with that. UPDATE: I’m told that fan voting is only 1/18 of the overall criteria for the award. With it weighing that lightly, my complaint should be taken just as lightly.

The nominees:

Arizona Diamondbacks – Aaron Hill

Atlanta Braves – Tim Hudson

Baltimore Orioles – Adam Jones

Boston Red Sox – Craig Breslow

Chicago Cubs – Anthony Rizzo

Chicago White Sox – Hector Santiago

Cincinnati Reds – Bronson Arroyo

Cleveland Indians – Justin Masterson

Colorado Rockies – Todd Helton

Detroit Tigers – Miguel Cabrera

Houston Astros – Jose Altuve

Kansas City Royals – Billy Butler

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim – Jered Weaver

Los Angeles Dodgers – Adrian Gonzalez

Miami Marlins – Logan Morrison

Milwaukee Brewers – Jonathan Lucroy

Minnesota Twins – Justin Morneau

New York Mets – David Wright

New York Yankees – David Robertson

Oakland Athletics – Sean Doolittle

Philadelphia Phillies – Chase Utley

Pittsburgh Pirates – Andrew McCutchen

St. Louis Cardinals – Carlos Beltran

San Diego Padres – Mark Kotsay

San Francisco Giants – Barry Zito

Seattle Mariners – Raul Ibañez

Tampa Bay Rays – David Price

Texas Rangers – Ian Kinsler

Toronto Blue Jays – J.P. Arencibia

Washington Nationals – Ryan Zimmerman

Justin Morneau was obviously nominated while still with the Twins.

The winner will be announced during the World Series.
