David Pinto at Baseball Musings has a Rookie of the Year Vote:
NL Rookie of the Year Vote
Sunday night I sent my ballots to the Internet Baseball Writers Association of America (IBWAA). Here are my votes for NL Rookie:
1. Jason Heyward
2. Jaime Garcia
3. Starlin Castro
You could flip a coin between Heyward and Garcia and get the answer right. Heyward’s season produced more value, and it was more dramatic. He hit the big home run in his first at bat. He made a great catch in the playoff-clinching game. In between, he showed he could hit, get on base, slug and run. All that playing at seasonal age 20. He should have a great career ahead of him.
Update: Someone notes that I left Buster Posey off the list. When I looked at the rookie list on ESPN, I just didn’t see his name there. Of course, Buster should be in the top three and I apologize for leaving him off the list.
Update: Because no post season games were played, I was able to change my vote to 1. Heyward, 2. Posey, 3. Garcia.
