Managers of the Year

Missed on yesterday award(Cy Young), so lets take a shot at the AL and NL Managers of the year.

In the AL, I think Eric Wedge deserves it. An 18 game improvement, division title and they fell just 1 game shy of the WS. Considering the competition in the Central(Twins and Tigers specifically), winning the division was no easy feat.

In the NL, Clint Hurdle wins it going away. The Rockies finish(winning 14 of their last 15 regular season games), their 14 game improvement, and unlikely playoff march clinched it for him. Factor in that he's by all reports an affable guy that the media seems to like, and I think this one is in the bag.

Next award is tomorrow, the NL Cy Young, so look for a new post.
