1916 NL Reliever of the Year
Oh, hey there. Yeah, so, um… Fernando Quintana? He’s… he’s just really good, sir. Like, really good. I mean, 45 saves? That’s… that’s a lot of saves. That’s not easy to do, no sir.
And, well, he’s only 25. Which is… young. Younger than me, I guess. And to be the Reliever of the Year already? That’s… that’s something. I mean, he had a 1.42 ERA. That’s low. Real low. It means he didn’t let many runs in. I looked it up.
I watched a few of his games on TV. He comes in real calm, you know? Not flashy or anything. Just gets the job done. That’s the kind of guy I respect. Reliable. Doesn’t mess around. Just throws strikes, gets outs, ends games. Like clockwork. Kinda reminds me of… well, never mind.
He got 30 first place votes. All of them, actually. Which means no one else got any. That’s what you call unanimous. I like that word. Makes things simple.
Tony Plascencia and Zach Gonser? They tried. But, uh… they’re not Fernando. Nope. This guy’s the best. At least for now. Guess we’ll see how next year goes.
So, yeah… congrats to him. He earned it. Good job, Fernando. Keep it up, man. Don’t let it get to your head.
Okay. That’s it. Thanks for listening, sir.
