Bay has settled right into the Brian Giles mode of great player in a small market that nobody hears about. He should’ve been an obvious choice for silver slugger over Carlos Lee. I can see why Andruw Jones got it with all of the home runs and publicity and such. And besides 6th in OPS isn’t bad, but Lee winning it over Bay just shows that the voters still have much to learn about identifying productive hitters.
