Pretty shocked Showalter won. I had him and Yost head to head with whoever going to the Series winning it. Turns out, Yost came in 3rd. With Mike Scioscia coming in 2nd.

Well they have to submit votes before the playoffs start, so playoff performance has nothing to do with it. Buck got the team to an AL East champion without 4 of their best players over various points of time (Wieters, Machado, Hardy and Davis).
Plus it was a year that ended in 4 (he won the award in 1994 and 2004 as well)
