When I started this blog so close to the off season, I knew coming up with good content would be tough. I didn’t realize it would be this tough, so I’m going to write about what didn’t happen with the Reds.

Cincinnati Reds manager Dave Miley didn’t receive a single vote for Manager of the Year. I can’t complain too much about Bobby Cox winning the award, but Miley came close to a .500 season with little expectation, no arms, and once again, no Ken Griffey, Jr.

LaRussa came in second. How much do you have to coach when you’re sitting on that lineup? Felipe Alou got some votes despite having the best player to ever lace up a pair of spikes. I just find it hard to believe that out of the 32 ballots, not one of them even gave a third place vote to Miley.
