We know the quality of what we have seen, and they know the quality of what they did.  The rest of it is craven public relations that is driven by interests beyond those of players and fans.

Agreed.  I guess my general point was basically in agreement with you.  I'm not going to be totally bothered if Andrew somehow does not get the Voldemort, because the award has become so trivialized by the late season jockeying that now goes on. 

I don't recall all of this talk about "How have the candidates done lately" even a couple of years ago when Gerhart was a finalist.  Is this all that new? or have I just blocked it out?
