08:16 AM ET 09.07 | Clearly, Kirk Gibson is a worthy candidate for National League Manager of the Year. But what about Ron Roenicke? It's commonly held that Roenicke will finish second to Gibson in the voting. It's almost as if the Brewers' manager is being overlooked because of the talent he was given beginning his rookie managerial season, as if any of those new pitchers and injury fill-ins were actually going to come together beneath the nebulous umbrella of "chemistry" for a team that finished eight games below .500 last year. When Doug Melvin went out and got Roenicke, Shaun Marcum and Zack Greinke, it was generally accepted the Brewers would seriously challenge for, if not win, the NL Central.

It's been bad for at least two years now it seems. I don't even really notice it any longer. It used to be frustrating.

It's a toss up between the two. The Brewers play in a harder division to win, which I think will be taken into account when voting is underway.

The Tribe may be done now but how about Manny Acta in the AL?

What about Freddie Gonzales in Atlanta? He's had to deal with a ridiculous amount of injuries this season and has consistantly had the Braves ahead of all of MLB teams except Philly for most of the season. I believe the Braves have the 4th best record in MLB now. He's done it in by far the toughest division in the NL if not all of baseball.

Roenike might lose Votes .... cause of the Two MVP candidates, Prince .292, 31 HR, 108 RBI, and Braun .333, 27 HR, 95 RBI ....
with the "Who could not WIN, with those Two on the Team" ... media thinking!

While he has done a good job, I don't think he will win it. Ron Washington, Francona or even putz Leyland stand a better chance, in my opinion.

Kirk Gibson, hands down, is the winner in the NL. The D-Backs don't have the stars that the Brewers do.
27RINGS!

AL winner? That's tough-Leyland and Washington are thisclose...Francona and even Girardi have a shot- The Sox were EXPECTED and picked to win the AL so I don't think Francona is going to win.
27RINGS!

Sure, Houston is bad, but it's still a harder division to win.

How about Jack McKeon? The fact that he hasn't killed himself after having to manage that giant turd pile assembled by Jeffrey Loria and midget son-in-law David Samson says something.

For a team that was expected to as bad or worse than last year, the Tribe made a helluva run. Unfortunately they just ran out of healthy, talented bodies. But I think Manny Acta at least deserves to be in the conversation. The guys you mentioned manage teams that were expected to contend. And one of them will probably win but I'm just sayin'...

Anyone checked Jack's pulse lately?

I agree with you. Until the last week or so I thought he was doing it with black magic or evil spells. Anyway, bodes well for next year and Acta is good baseball man.
