Congratulations to Erick. I think Anthony (ATL) was a good choice as well but I definitely could of seen Adam (WAS) taking this award as well since he really did a good job in Washington and had them competing for division title in last week of season.

I think I did pretty good for myself! It wasn't a 1 year or 2 year plan either...this rebuilding has been fun. It should be a fun year!

Look at those beautiful minor league records...and Ashville won its 3rd Championship in a row this year behind their "AllState Aces," Luther Good and Rick "Old Iron Hands" Carson. Just like AllState, you're in Good Hands with Ashville's pitching staff!
In two years time, they'll be dominating the Majors, so you better take out insurance plans on your hitting!
I'm really proud of this award though. I think I won in 2010...without much competition (Philly, some rebuilding teams, and a bunch of ghost teams). This time, the award resonates because of all the terrific GM's who were nominated but didn't win.
I dedicate all the credit to Jon Garland and Barry Zito.

Your rebuilding plan has been faithful to a small market, and extremely well-planned out. You should be having fun, when all these kids grow up, your team will be a nightmare!

Congrats Erick! Nice job this season. And I better be worried when two rival NL East GMs are making names for themselves...

Well done Erick! At the start of the year I couldnt believe you'd have a hope in hell with that banged up old rotation - which is probably why Seattle (and me) won nothing and you're the NL GM of the year If only Vegas took bets on PBL - I'd lump half the mortgage on Olsen to win it next year.

I don't know about this one. Helton did all the work.

I don't know about this one. Helton did all the work. Exactly why when we broke the news, we had reality tv cameras follow Helton to knock on Erick's door to announce he won the award and to hand him the trophy.. The scene was like one of those old publisher clearing house commercials.

The best thing Erick has done for the Rockies, was replacing Dinger with Todd Helton as team mascot.
Bravo.
