I wonder if all of these coaching shakeups are coming from Cashman?

I don’t care about these awards, but the 2 Tampa writers didn’t have Boone on their ballot and some other voters had Francona on there instead of Boone. That’s an absolute joke.

If it's any consolation, i don't like Boone either.

I hate to take away from an overachieving year for Baldelli's Twins, but FFS, Boone managed a record-setting-injury-list roster to 103 wins in the regular season, and a division title.

All the awards that sportswriters are allowed to vote on are BS, and always have been. That goes all the way back to Ruth not being a unanimous HoF inductee and all the snubs along the way afterwards.

Players and managers/coaches should vote on awards.

He also had over $100M more talent on his roster than Minnesota, the Twins' most expensive player wouldn't make the Yankees' top five. You've got two bullpen arms making more than the Twins' highest paid player and your deadline roster fill in bat would be a top 5 salary in Minnesota.

Yankees managers will always have to do a lot more to get awards recognition because they start from a base of having a lot more to work with.

Use that rationale to explain how Baldelli got it over Cash. Cash had a payroll for $54M, no player on his roster made more than $5M, and they had to play in the AL East instead of Central.

And they did better in the postseason than Minnesota. No argument from me, I didn't say that Baldelli deserved it over Cash.
