One of the perks of being in the Baseball Bloggers Alliance (I can't ever type that without thinking of Gob Bluth) is that I get to participate in the year end voting for baseball's annual awards. I'm curious to see how our votes differ or resemble the baseball writers - I imagine their will be some differences. I like how we are doing it as each blogger posts his/hers votes on their respective blogs for readers to agree or disagree with. Royally Speaking follows an AL team so I won't be voting for any NL awards. Up first for BBA voting is the Manager of the Year.
1. Ron Gardenhire
I'll be honest with you I have never given much thought to this award in the past. I mean Tony Pena won it in 2003 despite the Royals going 67-76 over the last 143 games so I may approach this differently than other bloggers. In fact I know I will because I'm employing a sure fire technique to determine the winner - how would other teams have done with Trey Hillman as manager. That to me means that Gardenhire is the winner because the Twins are the only team that wouldn't have made the playoffs with Hillman at the helm. You know I'm right, come on.
