After a long drought of posts, we are back to report on the top Rookie of the Year candidates. Hopefully we will be back to our regular posting schedule. Enjoy checking out and debating the rookie of the year candidates. We noticed a lot of pitchers are pitching well, but have no run support so their records are suffering. Get some bats guys!! (Thanks to Steve PGH for helping compile this list)
