I'm pleasantly surprised but he is clearly deserving. I would have been cool with Francona winning it.

Interesting article in the Strib about how weird it would have been to have fired Mollie, and then have him named manager of the year! I'm on the fence. I'm happy that he was recognized for the big turnaround this team made this year, but I still see him being outmanaged on a regular basis. I think management made the right choice in bringing him back, but the jury is still way out for me in evaluating him as a manager.
