If Robin wins it would be an even bigger joke than Shapiro winning exec of the year in 2005

There's no way he beats Bob Melvin.

Don't think he'll win, but nice to know he's getting some sort of recognition.

Perhaps not a bigger joke, but it would be silly.

Definitely doesn't deserve it this year but I would love to see him win it in the near future.
