Things set to get a little wild in the West

Invite the five managers of the National League West squads over for a poker game, and you'll have a collection of some of the finest minds in baseball at your table. Dusty Baker (San Francisco Giants) and Bruce Boche (San Diego Padres) have both won Manager of the Year awards in the 90s, while Buck Showalter (Arizona Diamondbacks) and Davey Johnson (Los Angeles Dodgers) have won with every team they've been on. And guess who's been mentioned as a preseason favorite for this year's manager of the year award? Colorado Rockies' new skipper, Buddy Bell.
