good for buck but i cant agree with williams, even though i know its just a regular season award
he had a fine year, dealing with injuries, (self created) harper drama, soriano, etc, (especially for a rookie) but with the lineup he was given and the weak state of the division he would have had to try not to run away with the pennant. for me a manager of the year is a guy who makes the most of a little, or guides a team well beyond their expectations. buck is a great pick, but for the nl id go with a guy like hurdle or redmond. oh well. good for matt. hopefully it doesnt go to his head cuz theres def room to grow.
also funny how for all his accolades, bochy seems to remain under the radar till he guides a team through a dominant october
