Votes Are Now In and Farrell still Got the Shaft!!

Well, now I've seen at least partial vote totals and I still think Farrell got the shaft.  Apparently, the voting took place before the post-season was played, so all of Farrell's achievements EXCEPT (and that's a very important except) winning the AL East were not considered. But, even on that basis, isn't a complete turnaround from 2012's last place to this year's Division title worth something? Francona did get the Tribe into the playoffs for the first time since 2007, but only as the second wild card! Terry won by a total vote margin of 16 points on a 5-3-1 method of counting, including 16 of 30 first place votes cast for Terry versus 12 for Farrell.
