MLB season awards...pathetic attempt to stay...

...in the news all winter long.

The votes were in 6 weeks ago before the post season even started, and year after year MLB rolls out one award slowly but surely in an attempt to keep baseball on the minds of sports fans. Today we get the NL Cy Young, last week was gold gloves, tomorrow al cy young, then mvp's rookie of the years, they milk the handing out of awards until picthers and catchers report.

It's ok to be off the sports radar for 3 months...roll out the awards all at once, then let us get pumped up for baseball in march after not having any since the world series....leave the fan's wanting more, don't dribble out awards all winter...my 2 cents.
