SF Giants minor league notes: Managers of the Year, a trio of 20-20 seasons

Two minor league affiliates of the San Francisco Giants earned end-of-season managerial recognition following the conclusion of their campaigns. Ydwin Villegas of the Single-A San Jose Giants won Manager of the Year in the California League, while Jacob Heyward of the High-A Eugene Emeralds earned the honor in the Northwest League.

Villegas received the award for the third consecutive year after guiding San Jose to a league-best 80-52 record and a Championship Series appearance. In his first season with Eugene, Heyward led the Emeralds to a 79-52 mark and a trip to the league championship series.
