SBN American League Manager of the Year

3rd Place: Mike Scioscia, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

Scioscia's Angels ran away with the American League West and finished with the best record in the A.L.

2nd Place: Ron Gardenhire, Minnesota Twins

Gardenhire almost always has his team competing, despite some questionable roster moves this past off-season.

Winner: Joe Maddon, Tampa Bay Rays

A 31game turn around and the American League East title was enough to gain Maddon a unanimous victory. Some of the credit should also go to the Rays front office.

Also receiving substantial votes: Cito Gaston, Trey Hillman, and Terry Francona.

Yost?

5th best in the NL? Is the NL that poorly managed? Or was Yost badly overrated?
