John Farrell - AL MOY?

Ron Washington, Texas.  He has Texas in first place with a roster no one thought could be there, most picked them third in the West.  The team has had dramatic roster change over the past 3-4 years and all he does year after year is build a BETTER team chemistry and improve the bottom line. 

I think you can make a case for AL manager of the year for several guys.

No Particular Order:

 

Buck Showalter O's  - Great Season in a very tough division

Ron Washington Rangers - Tx Husker made a case already

Terry Francona Indians - Cleveland Indians are back on the map

John Farrell Red Sox - Great season replacing you know who

Bob Melven A's - Back to back, probably not, but just as deserving this year as last

When I operated the Area Code tryouts, John Farrell was always professional when he attended as a College Coach from Oklahoma State. We had many discussions on the direction of game.

 

His success with the Red Sox was predictable. Hope to see him again in Oakland.

Farrell hands down esp if the BOSOX hang on to win the division.

 

Clint Hurdle in the NL

don't know about hands down, He basically has the team that was picked 2 years ago. Now a really good job has been done by Joe Gerrardi.  Now all you Bosox fans don't want to here it but this guy managed his butt off just to keep them afloat. Lost a whole starting lineup almost and now they are poised to come back from the dead after everyone had them buried!

Agreed.  No question.  Girardi has done an excellent job with one hand tied behind his back, and a GM that cut their salary situation way back.    The Yankees should be toast but aren't....yet. 

 

 

 

  

Farrell will win for going from last to first and biggest wins increase. Hurdle wins in the NL.
