This is what Keith Law said about it. He doesn't have a vote for the AL ROY this year, but rather has a vote for NL MOY.

AL Rookie of the Year

1. Brian Matusz

2. Danny Valencia

3. Austin Jackson

I hadn't thought about Valencia. He had only 85 games played, but I guess theoretically you could have a top 5 of Davis, Feliz, Jackson, Boesch and Valencia (in whatever order). I still think Matusz would top him and Boesch, but we'll see.

I'm not sure how this thread got so derailed, but I just read this and thought it was interesting.

You can take a wild guess as to how it got derailed, but that's over and in the past.

Tied for sixth despite leading all AL Rookies in WAR.

WTG BBWAA :rolleyes:

No wonder they used to have a Schmuck in charge.

What a bunch of dolts...if your profession is built around the skill of writing it may make sense to have an editor look at your website articles.

Seriously...."Jason Hayward"?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

What a bunch of A-clowns.

Quite the disappointment that Matusz finished 7th. His numbers were compatible across the board with Davis, with the only exception being win-loss record and team performance, but somehow the voters saw fit to have Davis at 4th, but Matusz at 7th? Than again, one need only look at the Gold Glove selections to view the intelligence of baseball award voters.

I didn't see the final votes...Just a listing on MLBTR...Either way, he didn't have a good showing in the voting at all.

I was surprised Valencia did so well based on 85 games played. However, .311/.351/.448 is a pretty decent rookie line, especially considering that the guy had a .743 OPS at Rochester over parts of two seasons. He had a .725 OPS over the last 2 months of the season so I wouldn't bet on him being that good in the future.

As to Matusz, he clearly wasn't going to win ROY so I don't care too much where he finished. I care a lot more about how much progress he made over the final 11 starts.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By Sanfran327 · Posted

      This board is smart enough to realize that the grass isn't always greener. The only way I see Hyde on the hot seat is if we miss the playoffs completely, which still feels very unlikely. Even then, I doubt he'd be fired during the offseason, but maybe. But then what? I don't think you give Buck Britton a shot at this roster. He's doing his thing and doing it well at AAA helping to develop guys. Could bring back Buck Showalter or Joe Girrardi, those sound like fun names. Or better yet, I bet everyone here with a torch and a pitchfork has their own little crystal ball with a short list of candidates ready to catch lightning in a bottle.

      The 4-run deficit was surmountable if we had more than one player who can hit the damn ball.   Kimbrel giving up six runs in the 9th may turn out to be a blessing.

      O’s look done

      I wonder if last night was kind of a face saving tipping point though. Kimbrel and/or Eloy are easy famous names if Elias wants to "get serious" about optics. Not anything involving any of the long term chosen ones obviously.

      Really hoping the Minnesota series means nothing. I don’t care what seed they get right now..just get in. They aren’t any better at home than they are away. If you can have your spot clinched by Minnesota, I want to see them rest as many guys as possible for those games.

      Elias taking accountability

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Parsing words I think "the testing of our depth" part is as close as Elias will come to critiquing Holliday and Mayo. I believe the club prides itself on its ability to prepare Bats to be ready to stay up, etc., but I do wonder if Sig Mejdal's "leading, bleeding edge" has made substitutes for actual MLB competition less effective than they have been in recent years. As awful as this run is, I've seen some comments a big off-season is ahead, but I'm not sure I agree.     There's nothing to do next April but play the guys you've planted your flag on.      Adley, Ryan, Holliday, Gunnar, Westburg, Cowser, Mullins, Kjerstad and Mayo is I think about as set an Opening Day lineup as you can find inching towards the winter.    Tommy Pham will be available for free next summer if somebody can't play. Certainly some interesting day to day calls for however long this year's ride the club can hold on for.    Prospect growth is not linear, and it still isn't impossible Holliday or Mayo will display some in the next 2 weeks.     Mayo can take dozens of at bats a day against Hurter with easy access to the Trajekt machine at home.

      Mullins swing in a 3-2 count at a pitch that started at his shins and just was never a strike was telling. They are pressing beyond pressing, obviously. I'm just not seeing any spark from anywhere. They look tired.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Jskins2190 · Posted

      What a funny thread. Yes we will. Will we win in the postseason? I’d say definitely no, but we’ll make it.
