The BBWA Is a Disgrace
In other Yankee News, they talked to Hensley Bam-Bam Muelens about their open managing position today. Could Orestes Destrade be far behind?

Very few smart people are sports reporters.
Fewer honest people, even than that.
There is also the anti-New York bias. The year (1999?) Jeter hit for a 150ish OPS+, really impressive for any position let alone a shortstop, yet he lost out to roiding Pudge.
I am far from Jeter’s biggest fan, apart from his on the field performance, but that was robbery.
What else explains it except anti-New York bias.
It’s definitely anti-NY bias. In order to win these awards, you have to basically be an overwhelming choice (as Judge was for ROTY). The only thing stronger than anti-NY bias is anti-DH bias, which allowed A-Rod to win some MVPs when Ortiz was also a strong candidate.
It's ridiculous. I'm still pissed about this today. Hoping we get a good trade or something today, to get the foul taste of that incompetent vote out of my mouth.
The Boone interview is complete, so we should be hearing about other potential names soon, I would think.
The New York Post, citing Hal’s quote, emphasizes his lack of experience. Hal’s political analogies aside, if you are a bright guy and admit what you don’t know, there is no reason why experience should be dispositive.
Boone is certainly not my first choice, so I mean this as a general point.
Of the four names that have publicly interviewed, I would opt for Meulens.
My goal heading into the search wad a ninja pitching coach, because that maybe one of the few ways to get one, but that’s moot.
Muelens would be a ninja hitting coach most likely. I agree he “sounds” like the most attractive option of the ones who have interviewed.
As far as pitching coach goes, I’ve often wondered why the Yankees never pursued someone who is considered the “best in the business.” I suspect the answer is they want a guy who jives with the organization’s philosophy moreso than simply “the best.”
Somewhat interesting that Cashman initiated the contact with Boone.
