And, unlike baseball players, they have a good warranty program.

This article instantly lost all credibility.

The best manager in the league is Bo Porter . He single handedly convinced 4 major league umpires that it was legal to make two pitching changes without the first pitcher facing a batter.

I do find it kind of amusing that #3 under Best Pickoff Move is a bad reliever who has pitched a whole 7.1 innings for the Rangers this year.

Those contract extensions for Aybar and Kendrick were totally worth it. Smart move by the organization.

Yeah, kind of loses credibility.

Wainwright has a better curve ball than Kershaw?

We all know who has the best tool in baseball anyway

I feel like Richards slider should be in the top 3. Nasty ass pitch.

[Chimi]

I thought the same thing.  I think Kershaw has the best curve in all of baseball.

[NrM]

This isn't from the baseball america writers.

 

They just Talley'd up the votes from MLB managers.

We all know how idiotic they can be when evaluating players not on their team. Just look at the allstar game manager selections recently.

best bunter: Erick Aybar.

 

So what does he do last night on the first pitch? Pop up a bunt to the 1B. Beautiful.

Is that supposed to be a pic of Escobar? His tripod didn't pass the censor.
