Angel Berroa

whether they played professionally elsewhere is irrelevant in my opinion. They are still rookies in the most diffiuclt league in the planet. MLB is a step up from every other league on the planet so I would have had zero problem with matsui winning it -- other than the fact that it should have been webb in my opinion. I think anti yankee backlash had something to do with it.

Technically, minor leaguers play "professionally". should they be ineligible? If you are new to MLB, then you are a rookie.

webb is in the NL. they have one for each league. dontrelle willis got the NL one with stats not as good as webb.

I meant that, I was just talkign in general. I think angel should have won in the al and webb in the nl. sorry for the confusion.

yeah Webb definitely got robbed last year (he was better than Willis in every single cat except WIns).... its all just cos Willis was more popular

the AL award could really have gone any way.... but people's opinions bout Matsui's "rookie" status probaly did have have a say in the final result.

Berroa clearly deserved it more than Matsui.

Yes, Webb was robbed.

I think berroa could match or possibly even surpass last year's #'s, which makes him a good value player.
