Or come close to it. If he does I'm gonna LMAO. He and his whole staff have done an amazing job this year, even if all they do is stay out of the players' way. Youngest team in baseball, new team make-up/no more Chipper, injuries galore, etc.

Posters treat Fredi like an illiterate half-wit who until this year was coaching junior high girls soccer in Peru, but he's having quite a season. He's had to handle some delicate situations with the potential to cause problems (new prima donna? brothers, Gattis taking away McCann's playing time, excessive strikeouts, jumping out to big lead, untested relievers) and everything seems as rosy as ever. Like most years for the Braves, the team seems to really like playing together - probably an unwritten organizational goal but the coaching staff has a lot to do with carrying it out. Fredi deserves credit for at least not trying to fix things that aren't broke. Kudos.
 
If nothing drastic happens between now and the end of the year, it will be Farrell/Melvin -- Mattingly/Hurdle.
 
Mattingly will probably win it, because the media loves Yasiel Puig.

I know that doesn't make any sense, but it is a media move. Who cares if the Dodgers have a quarter of a billion dollar payroll.

It should be Fredi or Hurdle. It will be Fredi if we win 100 I think, Hurdle if we don't.

I imagine it is a pain managing that team. Mattingly deserves it.
 
I think it will be Hurdle w/ Pitt... Mattingly wouldn't shock me bc of the large media market/ffascination with the dodgers...
 
It will be unanimous for Hurdle if the Pirates win the division. Not that I agree, Fredi deserves alot of credit to have this team in this position with all of the obstacles along the way, but it's expected more from the Braves than the Pirates I guess.
 
IF Mattingly gets any consideration its a joke. The Dodgers spent a billion dollars and acquired everyone under the sun during the season. They are an embarrassment to the game with what they are doing. This is much worse than the Yankees ever did.
 
i want to know if Wrenn gets executive of the year.

With all of the injuries and young players, it's amazing to be where we are.....buy maybe signing BJ to 5/75 disqualifies you from EOY.

LOL....that should basically disqualify anyone but BJ is showing signs so thats a good thing. I think he has hit more balls hard the last week than he did the prior three months.

He did well before he went on the DL back in June.

Thankfully I'm sure we've seen the worst of Bossman, hopefully he'll have a big bounceback year at some point soon.
 
I think Hurdle has a case for it but I just don't think the non-brave fans realize just how many things have gone WRONG this year. I bet most people feel that everyone has been healthy and producing all year. Braves could have been a 110 win team this year if things went according to plan.
 
If the Pirates win their division or just make the playoffs, Hurdle will be the sentimental pick by the press.
 
Lets see, it has been 20 years since the Pirates finished above .500 , Hurdle is the winner hands down, don't care if the Braves win 100 games or what the Dodgers do, you have to give credit to breaking a 20 year slump.
 
The Pirates are going to the postseason for the first time since Sid slid. I'm not sure how it's a conversation. Fredi should probably be runner-up, though.

I hate it too, but how is this the Dodgers' fault, exactly? Blame MLB if nothing else. They will become/are on the way to becoming just like the Yanks eventually. Bunch of terrible contracts on aging players with no farm system and hardly any titles to show for it.
 
I just don't see how you can't give it Clint Hurdle. His roster is/was by far the worst of the teams likely to make the playoffs.

Wren should win GM of the year. He did the most with the least amount of cash.
