Well, here's something.

We're not sure quite what, but it's something we clicked on last year out of some sort of morbid curiosity, and it's something we clicked on again this year because, frankly, we thought we might get a cheap blog post out of it.

And we were right!

Craig Calcaterra at Hardball Talk, last offseason, ranked the MLB managers 1-30 in terms of handsomeness.

This is a strange thing to do. It's a strange thing to click on. But we remember it well. In any event, poor Ron Gardenhire finished 28th out of 30 last year in Craig's rankings. Gardy got teased about it a little bit, too.

Well, of course, the Twins swapped managers in the offseason. And now you're dying to know how handsome Calcaterra thinks Paul Molitor is, right?

Well, even if you weren't, we're going to tell you: Molitor is 8th. That's a big leap for the Twins into the top 10, a move of 20 spots, a massive upgrade in VORMH (Value Over Replacement Manager Handsomeness).

Here's what was written about Molitor, as part of a delicate discussion about what the aging process has done to his looks: (Aaron) Gleeman observes that, in the right light, Molitor still looks like his old self, but he's very, very dependent on the light. So, for now, consider his ranking provisional. We'll see how he does under the spotlight for the next year. Wait, no spotlight. Maybe some shadows would be helpful here.

So there you have it. We will, from this point forward, be referring to this as the Haute Stove, by the way.
