an accurate description of AL teams in generalTigers who seem to basically be [ace pitcher] plus big bats.

My Next Prediction: The Brooklyn Nets win the NBA Championship
I feel like we're finally bonding <3Something that I did not think I would say in a sports-related thread: I agree with Byrne. Slow your role with the Nets, bro.
You're in the eastern conferenceCan't the Brooklyn Native have high hopes :(
i think GGs are voted on by managers and coaches, no? that might explain the Trout snub...old school guys are loathe to give rookies any credit whatsoever. rookies have to "earn" it through years of service (especially ones who are featured everywhere, like Trout).Awards, wooooo

Adam Jones over both Trout and Jackson? Brendan Ryan not winning every GG as a shortstop ever? CarGo? As always, hitting reputation and some general shenanigans (%fielding percentage). This is the most laughable of all the awards.
