2009 SBN Rookie of the Year Award

The first legitimate shot at a Ray winning ...

Rk Player Team 1st 2nd 3rd Pts
1 Elvis Andrus Texas Rangers 6 9 6 63
2 Andrew Bailey Oakland Athletics 11 1 3 61
3 Jeff Niemann Tampa Bay Rays 3 5 3 33
4 Rick Porcello Detroit Tigers 2 7 2 33
5 Brett Anderson Oakland Athletics 5 1 3 31
6 Gordon Beckham Chicago White Sox 1 2 8 19
7 Nolan Reimold Baltimore Orioles 1 - 1 6
8 Matt Wieters Baltimore Orioles - 1 3 6
9 Brad Bergesen Baltimore Orioles - 1 - 3
10 Ricky Romero Toronto Blue Jays - 1 - 3
11 Travis Snider Toronto Blue Jays - 1 - 3

 

At least he finished well ahead of Rick Porcello. I'm a bit amused (disturbed?) at how many first place votes Andrew Bailey received and how few Brett Anderson received. I mean, yeah ERA, but come on.

Me: Anderson, Andrus, Niemann

I only really feel strongly about Anderson. There are, maybe, 4-8 guys who could take the next two spots.

Silly, silly, Rick Porcello voters. Bailey’s not a bad option for 2nd/3rd.

Porcello only gets votes due to age.

Which goes back to a question I raised a while ago: should age matter at all in the ROY discussions? It hasn’t in the past when Ichiro won it. Or Matsui finished high. Or Sasaki. Why should it matter when it’s a really young guy and not a really old guy?

How bout this question?

Instead of a reflective award, rank the top 3 in terms of Rookie with Most Successful Future
