The Award Season Is Off To A Great Start

The American League Gold Gloves were announced yesterday and the man with the second-worst Fielding Runs stat in all of MLB -- 27th out of 28 qualifiers and DFL in the AL -- has picked up his fifth GG.

Even the New York tabloids are laughing.The schedule of announcements:
Wed 1110 - NL Gold Glove Awards; Silver Slugger Awards
Mon 1115 - Rookies of the Year
Tue 1116 - NL Cy Young
Wed 1117 - Managers of the Year
Thu 1118 - AL Cy Young
Mon 1122 - NL Most Valuable Player
Tue 1123 - AL Most Valuable Player
&: Amalie Benjamin is no longer the Globe's beat writer, though she will remain at the paper. Sadly, she will likely not be replacing CHB.

I don't know if he created it, but ToeKneeArmAss posted this to SoSH:

    Seeing Morgan and CHB bounced from their respective jobs in the same week? I don't think we've reached the land of milk and honey yet.

    So what chance do you think that Francona has to land AL Manager of the Year? With all the trips to the DL made by key personnel, he still managed to grind out 89 wins and have the second-highest offensive run total in all of MLB. Seems like a makings of a strong candidate to me.

    I'd say Francona is a 50-1 dog to win, while Ron Washington is about a 1-10 favorite.

    Based on the results of the shortstop voting, I'd say Yogi Berra will win the manager award. Apparently it's just a name recognition thing.
