2008 NL and AL Rookies of the Year?

digicat

It seems that Geovany Soto (NL) and Evan Longoria (AL) are locks for the Rookie of the Year awards. Are there any rookies who are in a position to out do what Soto and Longoria have done this year?

Ben Francisco has had a decent year with the Indians....don't know if he has gotten enough notoriety however since the Indians basically sucked for most of the season.

2008 CLE games 104 at bats 390 runs 58 hits 109 doubles 27 homeruns 14 rbi 51 average .279

surprisingly close stats as longoria:

2008 TB games 104 at bats 381 runs 56 hits 106 doubles 27 triples 2 homeruns 22 rbi 71 average .278

Don't count out Alexei Ramirez of the White Sox to get some serious consideration for AL ROY.

He does have the numbers to back it up: .305 AVG, 16 HR, 64 RBI, .322 OBP, .488 SLG, and has committed only 11 errors as a middle infielder.

Longoria's numbers: .278 AVG, 22 HR, 71 RBI, .352 OBP, .533 SLG, 8 errors at 3B.

Of course, I might be a little biased towards Ramirez since I'm a White Sox fan...

Well, no surprises. Both Soto and Longoria won it.

Longoria was a unanimous pick, while Soto got 31/32 1st place votes (the other vote going to Joey Votto).
