NL Rookie of the Year

[Yoda]

Matt Cain!

Is he still considered a rookie?

Maybe he is, but i am not sure where i can tracker whether or not he was on the roster for 45 days last year.

Yes he is still considered an MLB rookie. He spent 37 days in 05:

It will be between Hanley and Uggla right now unless Fielder gets super hot.

Has to go to Johnson for SP - I think Zimmerman for Batter

NO way should it be johnson. Hanley has been by far the most impressive. He has hit 421 over the last 13 games giving his team life and a run at the wildcard. It is easily him. AL is the true question...verlander, weaver, or liriano?

I think anyone of the guys except Duncan or Saito are well deserving of the award, but I give the edge to Uggla or Johnson

AL is easier. Verlander. He lasted the whole season and has more wins, K's and innings than Weaver

How can you say that Uggla has "mediocre" stats? How many 2B, how many rookies in the past 10 years, have finished their season with (projected) 25 HR, 110 runs, 100 RBIs, 7 stolen bases, and a .350 OBP? Maybe he won't win because he's contending with a bunch of other players on his own team, but in my mind, he's been the team's most valuable player. And he's been excellent on the defensive side too, eighth in the major leagues among 2B in assists.

How can you leave Papelbon out of the AL. Even with his injury time he still have a .92 ERA and 35 saves. Id take him over Liriano and Weaver, making it a two person race. The kid is gonna post one of the lowest ERAs in the history of baseball and hes not even considered.


For the NL its got to be Hanley. He came out of nowhere.

Papelbon also had 6 blown saves...

Hanley was always touted as a high prospect, maybe you meant Uggla, the rule 5 pick.
