It’s nearly awards season in baseball, and the San Francisco Giants figure to get some love on the ballots. And by love I don’t mean a 10th-place MVP vote for Kevin Pillar from Henry Schulman, which is what happened a year ago.
I mean honest to goodness love. The Giants are unlikely to bring home any hardware, but Mike Yastrzemski will show up on a lot of MVP ballots. Gabe Kapler will possibly get some votes for Manager of the Year. There will probably be a Gold Glove nominee or two.
