[Ale Xander]

2 cardinals? Wow
I’d probably think Freeman at first thought
But Goldy was way ahead of everyone in SLG and Arenado’s (and Machado’s) defense was great at a premium position.

I’d probably go Alcantara as one of the top 3 (MVP-8.1 WAR) tbh but maybe that may be just because I hate Machado

 

[Daniel_Son]

No Baker for Manager of the Year?

No Baker for Manager of the Year?

Regular season award; they went with three guys whose teams exceeded expectations

I would have went with Marmol over Roberts

Should be Buck’s to lose though

edit: never nind
You’re talking about AL
I always picture Dusty as NL for some reason (playing career plus cubs Giants and Nats)

100% agree with the AL picks
Not sure who should win between Hyde and Servais
Sorry, Tito

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

Francona won a division with a record number of rookies, Hyde was at the helm of an Orioles team way ahead of schedule and Servais was manager of the team that broke the longest playoff drought in the game. Baker would have no business as a nominee with the easiest job in the sport.

You're right. Hyde it is for me.

The three AL CY nominees are 1-2-3 in ERA+ among qualified starters. Ohtani is fourth. Seems like "chalk" as far as those nominees go. Hard to argue with it.

 

[LogansDad]

You're right. Hyde it is for me.

I agree, but Servais being able to turn Seattle around when they looked dead in the water in May, and actually get them to the playoffs, may put him over the top. I would have no complaints about that

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

Chris Antonetti, President of Baseball Operations for the Guardians, has been named MLB Executive of the Year. I have to admit, it seems rather funny when the only free agent they signed was Luke Maile and the only trade they made at the deadline was getting rid of the corpse of Sandy Leon for a AAA pitcher.

[simplicio]

Good for both of them. Happy to see fewer incentives for teams to screw over their young players.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Harris II won NL ROY.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Julio Rodriguez was almost unanimous. 29 first place votes.

 

[Daniel_Son]

Julio Rodriguez was almost unanimous. 29 first place votes.

Ben Nicholson-Smith was the lone holdout (voted for Rutschman) and offers an explaination here:

And you know what? I don't necessarily disagree. It was damn impressive what he did with that pitching staff as a rookie catcher.

 

[LogansDad]

I would have voted for Julio, but I have no issues at all with someone voting for Rutschman.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Tito wins AL MOY, fairly convincingly

https://bbwaa.com/22-al-mgr/

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Buck wins NL MOY in a pretty close race: https://bbwaa.com/22-nl-mgr/

 

[Ale Xander]

2 years ahead of schedule for Buck

Winning with 4 different franchises is very impressive (and a record) as is 4 different decades

 

[InstaFace]

Don't know what's more surprising - that Tito has 3 MOY awards in less than a decade, or that they're all with Cleveland and 0 with Boston or Philly.

 

[NorthwestSoxGuy]

So happy for Tito! Wish he could've stayed in Boston, though.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Don't know what's more surprising - that Tito has 3 MOY awards in less than a decade, or that they're all with Cleveland and 0 with Boston or Philly.

Well, his best season with Philly was 77-85, so I don't think that part is particularly surprising.

 

[InstaFace]

Yes, it would be 2004 or 2007 that you'd think he'd have won it.

 

[LogansDad]

Yes, it would be 2004 or 2007 that you'd think he'd have won it.

I don't know. Both of those teams went into the season expecting to be very good. To me, MotY should go to a manager who got their team to exceed expectations. I don't think any of his Philly teams qualify, for obvious reasons, and while I think he was excellent as manager of the Sox, I don't think either the 2004 or 2007 teams "overachieved". I think all three of his Cleveland teams that he won the award for fall into this category, BUT, I would also have voted for Brandon Hyde this season.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Red Sox managers have won the award twice ... McNamara in '86 and One-M Jimy in '99

 

[EvilEmpire]

I was just happy to see Abbey's 2nd place vote for Aaron Boone in the totals.

 

[jon abbey]

I think that reporting got confused, I actually voted him 4th in BOTY (Boone of the Year), behind Bret, Daniel and D. (Boon), ahead of only his Covid-denying dad.

 

[InstaFace]

T. Boone Pickens weeps.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Pedro announces Sandy Alcantara for Cy Young. Alcantara got all 30 1st place votes.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Verlander also unanimous

 

[Minneapolis Millers]

Judge wins first MFY MVP since Mantle 60 years ago! Well deserved, but that’s amazing to me. (Sox have had SEVEN guys win since Mantle…)

Not unanimous, as Ohtani grabbed two first place votes, which is ok, imo. Apples to oranges comparison….

Amazing because it's not correct:

• 1963 – Elston Howard
• 1976 – Thurman Munson
• 1985 – Don Mattingly
• 2005 – Alex Rodriguez
• 2007 – Alex Rodriguez
• 2022 – Aaron Judge

 

[jon abbey]

They probably said the first Yankee outfielder since Mantle.

Oy. What a brain fart. That’ll teach me to think I can trust online garbage AND multitask.

 

[Minneapolis Millers]

Ok, thanks, then we’ve had more OF MVPs since Mantle!

 

[Ale Xander]

Ok, thanks, then we’ve had more OF MVPs since Mantle!

Red Sox should have offered Verdugo, Wong, and Jeter for 2+ months of Judge and then tried to resign him

Award winners got their plaques yesterday, but their is an embarrassing problem.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh my. It's on all of them. LOL.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Now those trophies are more valuble.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Also, who wore it better?
