November 12, 200718 yr Good I love TULO but if he got it because of Coors I wouldn't have been happy You could say the same of Pedroia and Fenway but no other AL rookie really stood out...and you know a KC or BAL player isn't gonna win it. Just something I found interseting Michah Owings had the 12th highest batting VORP out of Rookies in only 64 PAs (And remember, VORP isn't a rate/average). Players he beat out with over 400 more PAs: Delmon Young, Alex Gordon, Chris B. Young, Aki Iwamura, Reggie Willits, Josh Fields
November 12, 200718 yr Still, we're talking about a difference of over 400, some over 600, PAs. I'm sure he gets an added bonus from being a pitcher but that's still insane. AL ROY favorites losing out to a pitcher.
