Buck did great things the O's. Johnson managed the youth well and put a very competitive team on the diamond every night. No one expected the Nats to do this well.

As a Yankee fan I'm going with Buck. Baltimore went from the laughing stock to a playoff contender. Just based on the improvement in wins Buck should get the award.

No problem with Johnson (though I had Bochy), but I really thought Buck deserved it this season.

What do the sabermetrics say? Is there a stat that tells us who splits more sunflower seeds with his teeth per inning on the road?

I believe the O's had the biggest turnaround from last season, and also lead the Majors in wins over expectancy. I guess that's something.
