Woooo for Kinsler!
And Young with a gold glove.

Hmmm, I don't know about Provie winning MOY. They would've had the best record in the league anyway.

[Providence A's]

with that pitching? I doubt it. I added Sheets, Harden, Chen, and Capellan. I also added Mora, Sexson, Reed, and Betancourt.

Granted Chen didn't do that well, but Harden and Sheets won 35 games and only lost 7 combined...better than what Mulder and Ponson would have done for me.

Eh, what PA said. He may have had a better offense if he didn't swing for Sheets and co, but he went a different route with the cardinals (which in real life, their lack of pitching outside of Carpenter is going to get them an early exit), and it paid off mostly. He didn't sit on a nice team, which makes me happy.

[Witlon]

I still think he would've made the playoffs, and ultimately suffered the same fate that he did with the team he built.

[Kingdom]

Want me to open a fan vote? We'll pretend it's the The Sporting News GM of the Year award. Heh.

[Witlon]

And I'm not saying he doesn't have a better team for this year and the future, I'm saying the outcome was the same last year.

Except for they swept the NL West team.
