Congratulations to Heath and Bud

Padres closer Heath Bell and manager Bud Black were honored by the Sporting News. Heath was named the NL reliever of the year and Bud was named the NL Manager of the Year.

Heath Bell was also recognized last week as the Major League Baseball Delivery Man of the Year. He converted 47 of 50 save opportunities. His save total was the second highest single season total for a Padres reliever, trailing only the great Trevor Hoffman.

Bud Black, in his fourth season as manager, guided the Padres to 90 victories. The team was in contention for a postseason appearance until the final day of the regular season.
