Current Tampa manager and former Tampa manager. It's a victory for wearers of nerdy black glasses everywhere.  |

I was surprised Charlie Manuel didn't win the award and Maddon was the right choice.
 2008 Giants > Padres  Pathetic Stat of the Year- Matt Cain has a 3.74 career ERA, but has won just 30 of his 104 starts. |

By the award's criteria, Eric Wedge is a genius one year, just another schmuck manager the next.
n = [log (($17 million amount deferred x .02754 interest daily periodic rate)/30 days in cycle) - log ($5 million base x .02514 interest nominal periodic rate/162 games prorated in cycle)]/log (1+i) |

I already shot down your theory, mofo, the first time you said it. Wedge did a great job managing with what he had. The Indians went from last to third WITHOUT Sabathia, Hafner and Victor Martinez. Wedge did a great job managing with what he had. He was no schmuck.

Yet he received no first, second, nor third place votes. That is some fundamentally sound voting system for this award.

Because guys like Guillen and Maddon did better jobs. Still doesn't make him a schmuck. To finish third in that division with all the injuries and trades is quite an accomplishment.

Maddon was a no brainer. As for Piniella? Eh, I can live with it.

Really it's hard not to make a case for these two.
But Cito got a couple votes for the Jays. The remake continues. The TBSL Detroit Tigers.
The SBSL Montreal Expos. Back in the game. The TPSL Boston Red Sox. 2012 AL East, 2013 WC Winners FIRE JP |
