Bob Melvin finishes 4th place in AL Manager of the Year voting

This is awards week in Major League Baseball! The first major offseason hardware was given out Monday with the Rookie of the Year in each league, and next up on Tuesday was the Manager of the Year.

The American League award went to Kevin Cash of the Tampa Bay Rays, who led a notoriously small-budget club to the best record in the AL. His year will be best remembered for a major strategic gaffe in the World Series, but these awards only represent the regular season and Cash has done a great job overall with the Rays the past few years.
