BBWAA Awards week will continue Tuesday night with the announcement of the winners of the Manager of the Year Awards for the National and American Leagues. The winners will be announced Tuesday night at 6 p.m. live on MLB Network and Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker is among the finalists for the Award in the National League.
While no one on the Battery Power staff has a vote in the actual awards, below are our thoughts and who we would vote for if we were given the opportunity. (Note: Roundtable participants were not required to vote for one of the BBWAA finalists)
National League: (Finalists: Brian Snitker, Buck Showalter, Dave Roberts)
Kris: I suspect that Buck Showalter might win this, but if I had a vote it would go to Brian Snitker simply because it was the Braves that ran down Showalter’s team to claim a fifth straight division title.
