Red Sox land Adrian Gonzalez

You should - if Tampa can continue to compete next season then Joe Maddon deserves manager of the decade award.

For 3 years of competition with a team that was pretty damn talented and no championships to boot? Ron Gardenhire, Tony Larusa, Terry Francona, Joe Torre and Mike Soscia deserve Manager of The Decade more so than Maddon. He gets too much credit for what the Rays have done IMO. The players are 75% of the reason the Rays have been dominate, the front office is 24.9% of the reason they have been dominate, Maddon and the coaches are .1% of the reason they have been dominate.

Well exactly - thats why I am saying if he can get it done this year without Crawford, Pena, Soriano and who ever else left.
