Kendrick can't win Rookie of the Year.

Kendrick's not a rookie. Carlos Ruiz will never get enough playing time for the Phils this year now that they have Barajas. I don't think Pie will make it on the Cubs this year . . . one more year in the minors.

Some other good guys on that list however.

Yeah, I totally forgot about him playing so much last season.

Not sure if he qualifies as a rook but I like Carlos Quentin. A lot. He's a beast.

Arizona is loaded with young talent aren't they . . .
(not all ROY eligible anymore but you'd have to be excited about being a Dback fan right now)

c - Montero
1b - Jackson
Of - Quentin
Of - Young
ss - Drew
ss/of - Upton

Wow.
