Gabe Kapler captured 28 of the 30 first place votes for NL Manager of the Year to easily beat Craig Counsell of the Brewer by 68 points. Once voter left Kapler off the ballot, Mitch Stacy of the Cincinnati chapter. I don’t know if it’s because of the some of the baggage Kapler carries from his Dodgers days or if Stacy might see the Giants success as more front office than bench.

Congratulations to Kapler on a great season for the Giants.
