MANAGER of the Year

At this point in the season, I would vote for Leyland (?sp) of the Tigers

My choice too!

Martin Masopust = Slovokian Mnanager

This was not meant to be a jokester thread

We are talking MLB managers

Leyland
Torre
Scioscia

I would put the Twins manager and Randolph of Mets before Torre and Scoisca.

The Yankees just buy more talent to fill any voids left by injury.

The Angels have been less than shining in a very weak division.

Agree with Gardendire.

Willie, on the other hand is doing well in AAA.

I would too. From being an assistant coach of a 14u team to the Tigers....and winning.

Girardi of the Marlins should get some consideration.

Projected to lose over 100 games and they are hanging around in the wild card chase.

He must be doing something right.

Should be no contest:

Leyland (Detroit) in the AL; and,

Randolph (Mets) in the NL.

Girardi over Willie in the NL.

Leyland by a landslide

Girardi in the NL deserves it but Randolph will probably get it.

Wow TR, bad day or what. Was I poking fun, the answer is yes. I wouldn't dare try to hijack your post as you and others have done to many others...I will stick to the intent of the thread if you will also. Especially in the hitting forum where it seems no one can ask a question without it becoming a war between you and others. I also noticed the posts you made in the Slovokian thread were deleted by the moderator. "Glass House".

Jim Leyland has taken virtually the same team Alan Trammell managed to the top, although they are scuffling a bit lately, just 6-4 in the last 10. Barring a complete collapse, Leyland gets the prize.

I would give Giarardi NL manager of the year. This year it's much tougher to go .500 in Miami than win in Queens.

Leyland gets my vote...

Jim Leyland...no question in my mind...

Anybody remember who it was that dressed down a young, cocky Barry Bonds in spring training in the early 90's?

I remember early in this season when Leyland lit into his entire team when he thought they were merely going through the motions on an early season travel day where they didn't give their best effort in a loss. They have been the best team in baseball ever since.

I know that you're kidding, right?

Entirely different team: Can you say Verlander; Zamaya; Granderson; a mature Monroe; Thames; healthy Ordonez.

Leyland, hands down in the AL...

Girardi is really doing a good job in Florida, but they aren't going to give the award to a 3rd or 4th place coach. Randolph will probably win it in the NL. But what about Narron in Cincy?

Leyland hands down, from cellar to first with almost the same crew.
Please stop the Torre nonsense.
The guy is first class, I really like him, but when you have teams like the Yanks, RedSox, Mets and others who spend their way to the top, Its hard to choose them for manager of the yr since the expectation of winning was already in place.
I genuinely like the Yanks, Sox and Mets Mgrs. but like Sciosia, they are expected to win.

Leyland - I just wish the Phils woul dhave hired him last year instead of Jolly Cholly Manuel. Our woes aren't all his fault, but I think we'd have a few less with Leyland
