He's had a tremendous year. The whole Darling crew did. <br /><br />Noteworthy: Mark Wegner, Mark Carlson -- I've respected Carlson's demeanor on field for some time now. Good to see him get a LCS assignment. Wegner was solid throughout the year, culminated in WS appearance. <br /><br />Honorable: Wally Bell, Dan Bellino -- Bellino's quietly strung together another solid year. <br /><br />Most Improved: Brian Knight -- there were a lot of Brian Knight haters on this board prior to this season. No complaints this year. <br /><br />Fill-in: Quinn Wolcott -- should not be close. <br /><br />CC: Joe West -- inherited numerous AAA umpires and took care of business, when necessary. <br />Worst Umpire: Lance Barksdale -- his strike zone is putrid and his one ejection (? - could be more, just off of the top of my head) was an awful call and an awfully-handled ejection. ... Barksdale just edged out Mike DiMuro. I don't consider Marty Foster for this award because he's BEEN in decline for some time. <br /><br />Best Ejection: Joe West/Dale Sveum.
