Awards Discussion Thread

[Youk Of The Nation]

I am creating this to pre-empt award-related sidetracks in other threads. Come in here! Discuss! Rant about how the guy who won should not have won over the other guy! You know you want to.

 

 

Fernandez and Myers take the ROTY for 2013. Honestly, I expected Puig, given the hype that surrounded him for the entirety of his first few months in the big leagues. I'm not saying Fernandez didn't deserve to win, (quite the opposite, in fact; I think it was the right choice), but I was definitely surprised that it wasn't Puig.

Cherington (unsurprisingly) wins Exec of the year.

[redsoxrules]

Trout should win MVP but he probly won't.

He probably will. Last year, you simply had to give it to Cabrera because of the triple crown. This year, it will be different. I also think Davis may take votes away from Cabera from the voters who dig the long ball.

I have to agree with Pal. I think he wins this time. I think the only reason he didn't win last year was because of the Triple Crown. I bet that a lot of voters who were on the fence between the two chose Cabrera because of it, and since he didn't make it this time, the swing votes will probably go to Trout.

Is it official for Farrell and Manager of the year yet?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Not until 6 EST. It should be Farrell and Hurdle.

Given hooters girl uniform.

[Thunder]

Hurdle gets NL as expected.

[Youk Of The Nation]

He should enjoy it now. He'll be fired before the 2014 season ends.

[Thunder]

f*** the MLB! How dare they give AL MOTY to Tito?

They gave the AL award to Francona? Really?

No i saw that Francona won. I'm just expressing my disbelief.

 

What a shitload of f***.

At the end of the day, the 2013 Red Sox won't win any MVPs, Cy Youngs, or Manager of the Year awards. What they did win was a Executive of the Year by our favorite Narcolept with wowzas.

 

 

Oh and defensive player of the year. But mostly EOTY.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Francona? I hate you, BBWAA. I hate you ​so much.

I didn't expect ROTY, CY, or MVP. The Sox didn't have anyone really who came close to the stats of the people who will win those awards. But MOTY should have been a lock. I suppose the fact that the Sox are 'expected' to be decent every year while the Guardians are generally expected to be the Guardians, pushed Francona over the top. But that's ridiculous. Farrell took over a team that was the worst in their division last season and didn't just manage them to a playoff game, he managed them to the World Series win. It's completely asinine that he didn't win MOTY.

What a load of ******** that vote was. How they can give it to Francona, a one and out pre-wild card folderoo and screw the guy who took a team that was toxic from head to toe and a pathetic last place team to a WS Title in one swoop is a total sick joke. It had to be a popularity contest and nothing more. If all Red Sox fans aren't just a tad pissed off by this I don't think they have a pulse. Total crap!!!!!

[redsoxrules]

What a joke that Farrell didn't win manager of the year. FFS, he took a team from worst to first. Horseshit.

For the record, the fact that Farrell won the WS supposedly "doesn't count" towards his MOTY case.

Do they vote on it before the WS? I know the MVP is already decided before then.

They supposedly vote on all the awards right before the playoffs start.

I'm afraid to look up what "naroclept" means, so I won't. Sox are the Oakland A's with more money.

Even if they did, wouldn't worst to first top second worst to Wild Card?

[Bellhorn04]

Well, Cleveland did it with about half the payroll we did, so Francona is probably getting credit for that.

 

Personally I don't care about any of the awards, but MOTY I especially don't care about.

"Narcolept". And it's just a sleeping disorder. Educate yourself.

I've been working on a few variations, but this one is probably my favorite so far.

The joke last offseason was that every time someone would sign starting pitching other than the Red Sox, someone would say "Wake up Ben!" Thus, speculating began that he had narcolepsy, and could often be found sleeping in his office during calls with agents, at GM meetings, and eventually in a pile of his own vomit on the floor of a bathroom of a popular Boston strip club partying with Mike Napoli and other players this October.

[VA Sox Fan]

Really? Really? I love Tito and all but in all his years with the Red Sox and 2 WS he never got ONE first place vote. I realize it's voted on prior to the post season but seriously think the BBWAA hates the Red Sox.
