Challenging because of the differences in different stats, but I'll go for A, C, B. That said, I suspect that personality does play into the voting, since the writers get to know these guys over time. For that matter, I guess some off-the-field stuff should count. For example, given two otherwise identical players, if one also was a clubhouse leader, or an integral member of the community (through charitable involvement or working with kids or similar stuff), I'd rank that one ahead of the one who wasn't.
