MELKY CABRERA = ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

[Nebkreb]

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!!!

 

[AdropOFvenom]

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

 

[Nebkreb]

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

 

[ST34LTH]

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.

 

[Nebkreb]

no, papelbon came in the beginning of this year....and he wont keep the ERA that low the whole year

 

[ST34LTH]

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

 

[DevinHester23]

I think that was after September 1, and if it wasn't, that's not enough to exaust the eligibility.

Which negates him from being a rookie.

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.

[Brooksie5]

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).

 

[bobferg]

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.

[GotSkillz92]

lmao buddy MO was being considered for MVP last year but he supposedly didnt get it because closers arent valuable enough. therefore he said any closer cant get a big award. while huston won it last year

 

[ST34LTH]

Why did you double post

 

[Nebkreb]

i know he won it..he shouldnt have...hes a reliever....Cano shoulda won it last year

 

[GotSkillz92]

All the yankees shouldve won awards to you.

 

[Nebkreb]

no, i dont think Arod deserved MVP...but Ortiz shouldnt have won it (hes a DH, no mvp)...but the yankees are amazing so...
