oh my god....took over for Matsui in left field....has hit wonderfully...had a nice 7 and 6 game hitting streak.....and made AN AMAZING CATCH off a possible Manny Ramirez gametying homerun in the 8th inning!!!
He's good, but hes not that good...Melky is hitting .295, 0 HR, 12 RBI in 88 AB'sWhile that is good, it doesnt really compare to.....Francisco Liriano 4-0, 1 SV, 2.11 ERA, 47 K in 62 IPJustin Verlander 7-3, 3.13 ERA in 72 IPJonathan Papelbon 0-1, .32 ERA, 20 SV in 28 IP
Papelbon cant win it for the same reason that Rivera cant win a MVP!the other guys i can understand but Melky is a beast

And were not talking about MVP, were talking about ROY
Am I mistaking, or did Papelbon pitch last year? Im pretty sure he did mop-up work.Liriano, will most likely fade, I think it will come down to Liriano and Melky.
I know. He gives up 2 runs and it shoots up over 1.3He DID play last year.2005 BOS 3 1 2.65 17 3 0 0 0 1 34.0 33 11 10 4 17 34

Liriano is going to take it. He is a stud. He has a great fastball and a solid change up. Not to mention a 90 MPH Slider! He is the next Johan Santana.

Liriano has disappointed me lol. 4-1 with a 2.44 (i think) era is good. But what the fuck happened to all his strikeouts? C'mon Liriano! Pick it up!Uggla is a beast, and he'll win it in the NL (if he can).
you expand your rosters to 40 in september. so there are alot of young players who are in the bigs and may get some at bats, but it wouldn;t be fair to call tha their rookie year.

Papelbon is eligible to win ROY.
