The Tigers won three “This Year in Baseball” awards this season. Recently unveiled by MLB.com, Joel Zumaya won setup man of the year, Jim Leyland won manager of the year, and Sean Casey won blooper of the year for the 5-7-3 put out in which he didn’t run on the play.
Congrats to Leyland and Zumaya. For Casey, I feel bad because I thought that gaffe was beaten to death and a lot of the criticism was unwarranted.
