AL Manager of the year award went to Joe Maddon. For me this was a no-brainer, as he led the Rays back from a 9 game deficit to take the wild card birth away from the Red Sox. He also made the playoffs with his team after losing 3 key starters from the year before (Crawford, Garza, and Pena,) and overcoming a lengthy slew of injuries to his star player Evan Longoria.
NL Manager of the year went to Kirk Gibson. This was an easy vote as well, he took his team from a big loser last year when he took over midseason to the playoffs the next year. So no surprises here, but well deserved winners. Congrats to both of them!
