How many times did the Twins score an extra run or two in the 8th inning to 'blow' a save for Nathan? 10? Wang didn't deserve one third place vote, let alone a lot of seconds. I think we see this crap in the ROY vote too, as Verlander's season is overhyped simply because he got a lot of wins. Papelbon deserved it much more IMO.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914413255858545990noreply@blogger.com
