Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5519475, member: 1969"] Seems like there are 3 really strong candidates in the AL. In the end I think it goes to Steven Vogt - he got the team to regroup down the stretch and they faced adversity a good part of the season. Offseason losses, poor mid-season, gambling pitchers. I think Schneider of the Jays probably gets #2 (although I'm not sure if he is #2 on my list) Jays had the best record in the AL, improved from 74 to 94 wins. Those are big positive factors with voters. His bullpen management is questionable, but the team chemistry was good, and similar to the Red Sox noted above, he got a lot of scrubs/ middle of the road players to step up for parts of the season. But the Red Sox also did a lot with a young squad, and regrouped quickly from the initial shock of the Devers trade. And also some patchwork. [/QUOTE]
