Melky Cabrera asked to be excluded from NL BA title consideration, and MLB & the MLBPA agreed, voting that anyone suspended for PEDs cannot be eligible for a 2012 BA, SLG or OBP title.
It remains to be seen if this will continue in future seasons.

What if a player is suspended 50 games and that suspension loops over into a second season; would he not be eligible for awards in either season? Seems like a double punishment to me, which I am fine with, as long as it is fair for every player.

It's not that anyone suspended for PED use can't be considered for a batting title. It's that anyone suspended can't benefit from the "we'll add hitless at bats to your total until you get the needed number to qualify" exception to the minimum playing time requirement."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"
