Desmond Jennings is cool. I like him.
Joseph Walansky
Yeah, sure I’d love it for him and Hellickson also but the agent for both of them? Scott Boras. We would be smarter to find a way to sign Price through some of his FA years.

Desmond is great, but no mention of Brett Lawrie? The kid is [utting up better numbers then Jennings across the board (on a 162 game season pace) and he’s only got 11 less games under his belt then DJ.
He’s also three years younger. Yup. Three.
Jon Stark
Brett Lawrie 105 PA (97AB): 32 hits; 7 hrs; .330avg; .381 OBP; .691 SLG; 1.072 OPS; 20 rbis; 15 runs; wOBA .462.
That’s about as good a start as one could hope for. I guess the only thing they would like to see is the K’s go down (21%) and the BB’s go up (6.7%).

what does lawrie have to do with anything? this post isn’t about ROY
Jon Stark
Well it mentions a bunch of rookies that are having strong first showings. Lawrie is at least an interesting comparison.
RobA
Because they make mention of just about every single rookie who is doing anything this year?
Chris Stilwell
Eric Hosmer is a better candidate than most for AL ROY
Jake White
Ivan Nova.
MB923
No
Jake White
The two Yankees’ guys deserving of awards (Nova and Granderson) will likely get screwed, like usual. At least Verlander deserves the Cy Young.
notsureifsrs
the yankees have it pretty rough
MB923
Nova doesn’t have the best stats amongst rookies though. Like the Cy Young Award, the Rookie of the Year award doesn’t have to go to a pitcher who you define as the most valuable. It simply goes to the rookie with the best stats. Sometimes it’s hard though to choose between a hitter and a pitcher though.
Without a doubt Nova has been a big help for the Yankees, but there are pitchers (Pineda, Hellickson) with better stats.
Sniderlover
Yeah but he was “wins”… lol.
Sniderlover
Yup… getting screwed when neither of them deserve to win the award. That makes sense.
Matt Busche
but Ivan Nova is 15-4! He has so many wins!
/sarcasm
Your Mom
lol no. The gap between Hellickson and Nova is nearly as large as the one between Bautista and everyone else for MVP. Sadly, the voters will probably only get the former right and one of the best offensive seasons in several years will be ignored.
Alldaybaseball
Its gonna be probably Hellickson, Trumbo, Walden, Ackley, Nova, Pindeda, Jennings, Lawrie. Then for NL probably Kimbrel, Freeman, Espinosa.
myname_989
I don’t know about Espinosa. Have to figure that barring an epic meltdown, Vance Worley gets some votes for ROY.
Tribe_Fan_Sam
Sucks the Central gets nothing. Vinnie Pestano should be in this race.
brewersfan729
Mark Trumbo and his sub .300 OBP doesn’t deserve any consideration for AL ROY.
Your Mom
That would be awesome and all, but unfortunately Scott Boras is involved which means it’s almost impossible.
