| Rk | Player | Team | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tommy Hanson | Atlanta Braves | 9 | 9 | 6 | 78 |
| 2 | J.A. Happ | Philadelphia Phillies | 6 | 9 | 7 | 64 |
| 3 | Andrew McCutchen | Pittsburgh Pirates | 8 | 3 | 5 | 54 |
| 4 | Chris Coghlan | Florida Marlins | 7 | 5 | 4 | 54 |
| 5 | Dexter Fowler | Colorado Rockies | - | 3 | 1 | 10 |
| 6 | Randy Wells | Chicago Cubs | - | - | 6 | 6 |
| 7 | Garrett Jones | Pittsburgh Pirates | 1 | - | - | 5 |
| 8 | Casey McGehee | Milwaukee Brewers | - | 1 | 2 | 5 |
| 9 | Seth Smith | Colorado Rockies | - | 1 | - | 3 |
Note that Pablo Sandoval would have been a unanimous choice if he had 15 fewer at-bats in 2008. It's hard to complain about the decision to play him then, though. When a guy's ready, he should play. Worrying about potential awards a player may or may not be eligible for the following season: weenie talk.
FYI: My ballot was Hanson, Happ, and Coghlan, in that order. Close race.

This is a tune we can all dance to.
So in the actual ROTY voting, how many votes with the panda still receive even though he is ineligible?

Not ROTY worthy but I like this Andrew McCutchen kid from Pitt. He has some pep in his step playing for a team desperate for something good.
I’m interested to see how his career develops.

He lost his eligibility in 2003, amusingly enough.
Yes, that’s right: one-half of our Left Field Of The Future combo was a rookie the same year as Dontrelle Willis, Brandon Webb, Brad Lidge, and Miguel Cabrera.

And he’s older than all of those guys except for Brad Lidge.

Nobody really thinks he's part of left field of the future.
Not even Sabean or Bochy…no matter what they say.

Sure they don’t. why else team him up with Velez then give Velez the Kiss of Ortmiere? Once the season comes arround and Velez is not starting the front office and claim it was lll they could do to replace Velez.

McCutchen made that McLouth trade look good. So when does the Pirates trade him next.

I figure it’s about time for karma to kick back in our favor in the “Giants trading with the Pirates” scenario. I’m thinking Bocock would get it done.
STEVE HOLM! refuses to be the odd man out.

Can’t do it. They wrote Bocock’s name on the 40 man roster in indelible ink: he’ll be on the roster in perpetuity, or for forever; whichever comes first.

They Aren't Going To
They control him long enough that he’ll be part of the core of the next Pirates contender along with Pedro Alvarez and Jose Tabata.
You wish you were named Frederick Deshaun...

He’s still going to be playing in 2632!?

I would have voted for Seth Smith, only because it seemed like he killed the Giants everytime he played against them. But then again, I guess killing the Giants isn’t exactly a rare occurrence.

Well, if you know what you’re doing, you just have to look at the splatter pattern and you can read the future.
I wouldn’t use them to make tea, though.

And McCutchen didn’t start until what late July?
by Hobbes2d on Nov 10, 2009 6:43 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
decent power, decent plate discipline, good defense, good baserunning and tools to spare.
If I had to pick one of those rookies to build around, I’d take McCutchen.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.

Early June (right after the McClouth trade). But still.
