Manager of the Year....will now be must see TV.

DALLAS -- The Baseball Writers' Association of America award announcements will be televised for the first time in 2012.

The BBWAA voted Tuesday at the winter meetings to have the results of voting for Most Valuable Players, Cy Young Awards, Rookies of the Year and Managers of the Year broadcast on the MLB Network.
Three finalists for each Cy Young, Rookie and Manager and five finalists for each MVP will be announced together, probably during the week following the World Series.
The winners likely will be announced the following week. Both MVP and Cy Young winners will be announced together, as has been done for Manager and Rookie.
Winners probably will be announced Monday through Thursday, in the 6-7 p.m. Eastern time slot instead of the traditional 2 p.m.

Good idea. The Heisman has its own show, so why not bring it to baseball as well. You know you'll be watching all the way. We'll be able to comment on how goofy everyone is dressed just like at the NBA draft.

I love it! Will the finalist be there in person?

Man, I agree with DK. I hope someone like Michael Pineda or CC rock the Karl Malone draft day attire.
