Since 2002, Gardy has been #2 in manager of the year 4 times, and #3 once. That’s some pretty consistently good managing … and I think you’re right that he’s due. But it probably won’t happen unless the Twins go crazy this year.

I don’t think Greinke will win the Cy Young. There are too many Red Sox voters … if Daisuke or Lester have a good year, it’ll go to one of them.
