I think the RoY race is just getting started.   History shows that a strong finish, and contributing to a playoff push, are big factors in choosing RoY.  See: Al Bumbry, Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken.  None of them would have been RoY if the vote had been taken on July 19.  

I think Gunnar is a pretty special athlete and I’m optimistic about him having a very strong final 68 games.

That’s awful for Jung and the Rangers, I always thought Gunnar had a solid chance to win ROY outright but you hate to see such a young talented player get sidelined like that.

Yoshida has the advantage of playing pro ball at a high level for 7 years before coming here. He's 30 years old and a "rookie". The main advantage he has is he plays for Boston.

I think there should be a requirement that a "rookie" by definition is someone who hasn't played at the top level of pro baseball in any country.

I've been trying to locate the Prospect Promotion Incentive plan in regards to players that finish 2nd or 3rd in the ROY voting.  I did see some outdated info regarding getting an International Draft pick, but that was later scrapped, as the owners and union could not reach an agreement on an International Draft.

Can anyone help with this?

Pretty sure I read somewhere that the plan they settled on is only the top ROY team gets a pick, nothing for 2 or 3 (which is why we got nothing for Adley last year). Google is really bad on the CBA because there were so many leaks of proposals at different points in the process.

As of today, not only are the O's in first place, Gunnar has taken the WAR lead over Jung, with Gunnar up a tick to 2.6 and Jung down a tick to 2.5. Let the good times roll!

Didn't I just see a Rookie Dodger with fabulous numbers?

 

*** Update*** I was snapped out of my trance and understand that's NL... thanks everyone.

Adley wasn't eligible for a draft pick even if he won RoY.

He was both injured and started the season in the minors once he was healthy.

If there was an International Draft, the eligible team would get a supplemental pick in that draft if an eligible player finished second or third.

Of course, there is not yet an International Draft, so the Orioles won't get anything if Gunnar finishes second.

Gunnar is going to take the ROY just like he took 3B last night.  Doesn’t matter what the other guys do, Gunnar is gonna do Gunnar. What a hell of a player!  The tools just keep appearing.  The competitive nature, drive, focus, and attention to detail are insane.  PAY THE MAN NOW!! 
 

Remember when people wanted to send him down after a few weeks?

      Soto has been fine since his first couple appearances and appears to be picking up steam. That makes seven. Problem is Cano has been the most reliable and all of a sudden looked terrible twice in a row. Hopefully he can get in one decent appearance in the final series.

      So It's 13 pitchers for the Wild card round? What position player are you dropping?

      There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!

      While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.

      I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.

      Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.
