AL- Guillen NL - Cox No surprises. No disagreement here. Considering what Cox had to work with - an injury depleted team - he did a masterful job. Later

WWSB should get a raise for that point,I thought Garner should have won...

Yes, Willie got a vote. This just in: That voter is now under a Doctor's care and is being heavily sedated. We fervently hope that by next year, the voter will be well enough to actually watch a Mets game that Willie manages. Later

also getting votes are ex-mets Torre and John Gibbons.

'Irish, the reason Gar didn't win was that the vote took place in September. At that time, no one knew that the 15-30 team would play in the post-season, much less become the NL champion.

Bochy is also an exie. This is Cox's third award. Even more of an achievement is that it's his second consecutive year wining it. I believe that's unprecedented.. It's really difficult for your team to have expectations low enough to exceed them (and a team exceeding expectations is pretty much the universal standard for the MoY Award) two years in a row.
