2008 Rookie of Year

今年RoY其實頗容易選的,主流媒體事前力捧的Geovany Soto和Evan Longoria都獲選,不過BBWAA還是鬧了笑話...以下是被BBWAA投票者選的人選...有下標線者是Dodgers新人,不過今年沒有人被圈選得到任一分。

0. Edinson Volquez 44.3 (VORP, NOT a rookie)
1. Geovany Soto 39.3 (NL RoY)
  (2. Mike Aviles 35.0, AL)
  (3. Evan Longoria 34.8, AL RoY)
4. Joey Votto 34.0
5. Jair Jurrjens 33.0
  (6. Joba Chamberlain 32.3, AL)
  (7. Armando Galarraga 31.2, AL)
8. Hiroki Kuroda 31.2, NPB
  (9. Brad Ziegler 30.1, AL)
...
17. Cory Wade 22.9
  (18. Nick Blackburn 22.8, AL)
...
  (21. Joey Devine 22.1, AL)
  (22. Alexei Ramirez 20.7, AL)
  (23. Denard Span 20.6, AL)
...
  (26. Jacoby Ellsbury 17.8, AL)
...
28. Clayton Kershaw 17.4
...
68. Blake DeWitt 8.0
...
84. Kosuke Fukudome 5.6, NPB
...
98. Ramon Troncoso 4.9
...
103. Jay Bruce 4.6

Volquez今年丟得相當出色,但是他跟本不算新人,MLB官方對rookie的定義長這樣...
Determining rookie status:
A player shall be considered a rookie unless, during a previous season or seasons, he has (a) exceeded 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the Major Leagues; or (b) accumulated more than 45 days on the active roster of a Major League club or clubs during the period of 25-player limit (excluding time in the military service and time on the disabled list).
(a) 未在MLB滿130打數或投50局
(b) 在active roster內未超過45天 (在active roster限25人時,按:即指非擴編名單時),另外也不包括從軍時間和傷兵名單時間。

而Volquez早在2005年就在Rangers debut,今年之前生涯就已投80局了,怎麼會算是rookie?

另外投給Fukudome也實在是...投他的BBWAA成員只看了上半季嗎?投給Jay Bruce就算了,Bruce至少有21HR,算是傳統數據重視的數字,得到選票還能讓人解釋...
