Starlin Castro: NL Rookie of the Year

[jstraw]

And is he on track?

[Kid]

Jason Heyward's getting all the press, so he'll be hard to beat. If he maintains a high average, he'll have a chance, but he's also hamstrung by being in the minors for the first month-plus while Heyward was in the majors.

I'm hoping Heyward gets injured.

That's some bad juju.

It was also a joke. I only wish injuries on Cardinals and Shite Sox.

Strasburg

[Runnys]

If Heyward stays healthy I don't see any way he doesn't get ROY. He will likely have 30+ HR's, 100+ RBI's, .290+ Avg...anyone will be hard pressed to win over those stats.

[Kid]

Strasburg's almost certainly going to get called up too late. Pitchers rarely win it and the season's going to be 40% over when he gets called up.

If he wins 10+ and puts up a 2.50 ERA, maybe, but that's probably what it would take.

Heyward's the new Babe Ruth.

You don't say.

And how about Silva for the Cy Young? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r.gif[/img]

He also has an agreement with the Nationals that he will be limited to about 100 innings this season. There's pretty much no chance Strasburg wins it.

Lies? I got nothing.

I'd love to see the kid win it, but, as already noted, Heyward is the obvious frontrunner unless he either gets injured or somehow completely loses it.
