Schumaker beat out Braves manager Brian Snitker and Craig Counsell who managed the Brewers, before taking the Cubs job.

This was Schumaker’s first season as a major league manager.

He led the Marlins to a wild card spot in the national league.

The Fish finished the regular season with a record of 84-78.

Just a few years ago, Don Mattingly won Manager of the Year with the Miami Marlins.

Schumaker was able to make the most of a team that entered the season with a low payroll, but bolstered the roster at the trade deadline.

The Marlins were particularly successful in close games.
