Interesting post JHB.... I was thinking the same thing , if the yanks get lowell he would be better off at 3rd base and Arod at first ( but of corse that would probly not happen ) . lowell is a way better defender than Arod . IMO it would be a waste if the yanks pay 60 mil for 4 years for lowell to play at first base
EXACTLY, the fact that melvin led that team to the playoffs is pretty amazing ,
so is the season based on 21-22 games ?oh and the playoffs dosent count for the voting if it was, tito would have won it easily in the AL
Tito was 4th in voting? WTF

is it the same for managers as players, that this was based on regular season alone?
what difference does it make? hurdle had better players and barely made the playoffs , melvin didn't have that great of a team and still managed to win the NL west
and why didn't hurdle win the division? cause he's not that great of a manager
beckett had 5 more starts than burnett , we only won the al east by 2 games , without beckett I dont think we win the east ,wich means we dont get home field advantage wich is a big + for this team
Why not? id rather have Cabrera at first than youk , can you imagine the lineup if lowell resign and we get cabrera
