It's an essence a '**** you' to KC and Q and we don't value or think the turnaround that happened meant shit. I mean, Hinch I get, because Detroit didn't even turn it around until August and then finished the year on a tear. But KC started off the year hot, stayed in it and battled throughout the year and hung on at the end despite struggling down the stretch. There HAS to be some acknowledgement of that.
The fact that some writers left him completely off the ballot shows just how reeruned baseball writers are and how their voting is largely based on guys they like and politics, first and foremost.
