    NL Rookie of the Year Discussion

    Saw the discussion going in the trade rumors thread, I figured I'd throw something up here instead to get full response. Below are the season numbers for the 7 or so best NL rookies this season.

    To Qualify(130 career AB, 50 IP, 25 Games Pitched) for this list

    Chris B. Young(OF-ARI) .249 AVR, 9 HR, 25 RBI, 27 R, 7 SB, .706 OPS

    Josh Hamilton(OF-CIN) .255 AVR, 9 HR, 20 RBI, 23 R, 3 SB, .823 OPS

    Kevin Kouzmanoff(3B-SD) .227 AVR, 5 HR, 28 RBI, 16 R, 0 SB, .679 OPS

    Joe Smith(RP-NYM) 2-0, 2.48 ERA, 1.31 WHIP 31 K in 29 IP(32 games, all in relief)

    Henry Owens(RP-FLA) 2-0, 1.96 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 16 K in 23 IP, 4 Saves(22 games in relief)

    Micah Owings(SP-ARI) 4-1, 3.84 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 38 K in 58.2 IP(11 games, 10 starts)

    Jason Hirsh(SP-COL) 3-6, 4.78 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 58 K in 84.2 IP(14 games, all starts)
    Still very wide open at this point, definately nobody running away with it. I think Owings is the early favorite(despite getting skipped in the rotation early in the season), with Hamilton/Young running second and third, in whichever order.

    Definately an opening for Kouzmanoff to slip right through there, though.

    Here is one that could happen,



    Ryan Braun(MIL)-bats 3rd in their line-up and his numbers are improving, especially since he has only been here a few weeks!!! Keep an eye on him.

    He didn't qualify for my list, as I said 130 AB in their career.

    But seriously, if he bats like that the rest of the season, he's definately the guy.

    Fair enough. Just wanted to add him as a throw-in.

    Kouz better start stealing some bags. We had this conversation on another forum and I just dont think he belongs. He has the worst fielding % in the bigs for guys with a minumum of like 25 games, and while I know most of it is based on batting not fielding, as a whole player he is just no where near the best and does not deserve that award at this point IMO.

    Agreed with LTR, Pence has got to be the favorite for this award right now.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Justin Germano could throw his name in the hat if he keeps pitching the way he is.

    Yet another good choice. Man, this could be an interesting year for the Rookie Award.

    Has to be Hunter Pence as of today for the NL. Jeremy Guthrie for the AL.

    Then out of fairness to the others you will be Slagathor.

    Who would have thought Jeremy Guthrie would be the frontrunner over Dice-K at this point?

    I agree. He's probably the only good thing going for the Astros right now.

    If he keeps throwing the way he's throwing until the end of the season, he'll be a shoo-in for the NL rookie of the year gig.
