Manager of the year is maybe the worst award there is. There's no criteria or skill that's assessed.
Good deal for Crawford and the Giants. His glove is pretty close to Simmons', and considering how hard a decent, legitimate shortstop is to find, it's good on San Fran to lock him up now for a pretty responsible price.
In other news, apparently Matt Kemp's corpse is on the trade market. Maybe Dombrowski will bite once more. Can't think of many teams that'd be interested in watching a man break down before their eyes.
