Congratulations to Athletics skipper Bob Melvin and Braves mentor Brian Snitker, who were named Managers of the Year from the AL and NL, respectively. It's the third time Melvin has been honored as such, and the first for Snitker.

There was of course plenty of discussion about rookie skipper Alex Cora, who took the Red Sox all the way this season in his first year at the helm.

Congratulations to both. Melvin is very deserving even though an argument could be made for Cora with what he did as a rookie manager, but he had more to work with.
