Back in early September, Bauxites projected that Cleveland's Eric Wedge and Atlanta's Bobby Cox would win their respective league's "Manager of the Year" awards.
As with the Rookies of the Year announced yesterday, the learned counselors here at BattersBox.ca were exactly half-right -- though this time nailing the NL half of the vote while failing to foresee Cleveland's eventual collapse to doom that shuffled the White Sox off to their first title since Kaiser Wilhelm was in control of Germany and landed manager Ozzie Guillen (a strong second to Wedge in the September balloting) the manager award. Cox's win is his fourth; Guillen's is his first.
