Bryce Harper got the ROY after all. Most of us missed that one.

It's almost like all-star voting: the masses vote in the guys who get the most media attention - as such, they undoubtedly would have voted for Harper. But knowledgeable guys like you wouldn't.

I think the question asked in the first place was who "should" win the awards.

I don't think we all necessarily missed it, as opposed to, it's not really what the question was..

We all gave honest answers, and I think a few of us even specified that Bryce's hype could win him the award, despite maybe not being most deserving..

Good point David.

[Runscott]

you're right. If I might have offended anyone with my (what I thought was) an innocent evaluation, I'll go back and delete it.

Scott <=== back on his eggshells.

Congrats to R.A. Dickey....he was pretty much the only reason to watch the Mets this year.
