    Congrats to both players they deserve. I am exited to watch these guys in the future, except for Pedroia. He is going to be a head ache for the Yankees.

    If Grant Hill and Jason Kidd can tie, so could have Tulowitzki and Braun. Dang them they-think-they-know-it-alls

    Many players could have won these awards. Braun and Pedroia are certainly deserving.
    Congrats.

    Tulo and Braun didn't go to Cal and Duke.

    Re: 2007 Rookie of the Year Award

    How is Braun >>>>> Tulowitzki?
    Not even factoring in the records of Milwaukee and Colorado, they both did pretty damn good.


    Troy T: crappy start, .291 avg, 24 homeruns, 99 RBI, .360 obp

    Braun: didn't play early on, .324 avg, 34 homeruns, 97 RBI, .370 obp


    Braun does have the better numbers, but damn, they both owned.

    double t played stellar defense at shortstop and braun played no defense at all at 3rd. sometimes hitting cant be the only factor, and this is one of the instances. if youre a complete detriment to your team as a fielder, it has to be taken into account. dirk tulowitzki got jobbed.

    Re: 2007 Rookie of the Year Award

    Braun put up MVP like numbers from June on. While Tulo is probably one of the best defensive shortstops I've seen, Braun's gaudy numbers are good enough to negate his defense.

    Maybe it's not Braun>>>Tulowitzki like I said, but it's still Braun>Tulowitzki

    Re: 2007 Rookie of the Year Award

    Braun's defense will get better as he matures and gets to work with the coaches in the off-season. He likely won't play winter ball anymore, but the minor-league complexes are 24/7, 365 places. He will be able to get his work in without worrying about injury.
    Tulowitzki is one of the better players I've seen come up and, had it not been for a lousy April, the award would have been his.
    Pedroia was the best rookie in the AL by quite a margin, IMO.
