[Lefty Specialist]

I've never laughed so hard at the Sterling Awards.

Oh, I mean, I'VE NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD AT THE STERLING AWARDS!!!!!!!

[MFS62]

I think I read that LUIS GUILLORME was named MVP of the league, but don't have a link for that award. I could be wrong and it was just the team MVP.

[Edgy MD]

He was indeed, which is remarkable for a guy with zero homers. But his Punch-and-Judy offense came combined with some defensive excellence.

And lots of walks.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Usually, awards show suck but that was a good one.

Cecchini looks like he might be a ballplayer. He even gave a good baseball player type interview to Gelbs last night.

Gsellman doesn't have a lot of gstrikeouts for a pitcher of the Year.

[Centerfield]

Poor Michael Conforto. He will have to spend his whole career in the shadow of Jorge Toca.

It strikes me that this award was rightfully Michael Fulmer's until he got traded.
