There's nothing more to write about The Mansby or The Florida Flamethrower that hasn't already been said.  However, it is awards season, so get your fill of banquet chicken, boys! With that in mind, I'll just let these tweets speak for me:

Perfect Game Announced their Player of the Year and Pitcher of the Year awards, respectively:
