Melvin was named NL Manager of the Year by the Baseball Writers' Association of America on Wednesday, the second such award he has captured. Last month, he won a similar award from The Sporting News, which was voted on by his fellow managers.
Melvin finished with 119 points, including 19 of a possible 32 first-place votes. Charlie Manuel of the NL East champion Philadelphia Phillies finished second with 76 points, receiving seven first-place votes. Colorado Rockies manager Clint Hurdle and Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella also received first-place votes and finished third and fourth, respectively.

He is a great Manager. I think Clint Hurdle was Lucky to be in the top 5 even. Good luck in 2008!
