We know that Alex Cora fell just short in the American League Manager of the Year voting, finishing second to the now three-time winner of the award Bob Melvin. Before that was announced, the BBWAA announced the winner of their National League Manager of the Year award, and it was a bit of a surprise. That one went to the Braves’ Brian Snitker. Now, Snitker is not wholly undeserving of this honor. Atlanta had a fantastic season that led them to a division title. Snitker had to lean heavily on a whole lot of young players, somehow got a huge year out of Nick Markakis and got wins from a bullpen that lacked true top-flight talent.
