If I care about one of my guys, or any guy for that matter, potentially being in the mix for a GG, MVP, ROY, CY, etc., I'm going to look forward to the reveal of the final results even if my fave ultimately winds up outside the top three. With the pre-release list I no longer have interest in the ones where they tell me ahead of time that he/they have no shot. There's little to no drama in finding out whether someone finished 4th or 6th I'm with FK on this one. I think the primary purpose of having all the "finalists" released for every award is that it gives something for TV wonks on the MLB network to discuss on a weekday in January when only mental patients are watching baseball talk programming.
