    I think Girardi and Tracy will win it, maybe Torre gives Tracy some run for it.

    Mike Scioscia will get some consideration for keeping the team together in spite of an early tragedy.

    I agree about Scioscia. The Angels did better than a lot of people thought after the Adenhart tragedy. I think Girardi could get hurt in the voting by the fact of his roster and what NY paid for it.

    Von, ya beat me to the vote on Scioscia. After what happened in the spring, all the pitching injuries, slow start, Vlad & Hunter out at the same time - the Angels skipper should be the clear winner.

    Tracy is a no-brainer IMO....AL should go to Scioscia.

    Couldn't agree more. Scioscia really held the team together. Scioscia one of the best all-time managers outside the foul lines. Inside, well that's another story.

    A nice quote from the OC Registers writer Sam Miller.

    April 9, 2009. A few days after Nick Adenhart died, the Angels called up Reggie Willits. Willits wasn't the obvious choice from a strategic view, but as a veteran who had made the trip from Salt Lake many times before, he was perhaps the one player who could carry the weight of "replacing" Adenhart. Nobody but the players knows how many decisions like this Scioscia had to make, how many reassuring words he had to give, how many times the team had to be picked up after the tragedy. But they didn't fall apart. For that, Scioscia deserves this award.
