I think this is the first time I've ever commented in one of these things, usually I just look, sigh, and move along, but a P who went 17 - 15 with a 4.04 DICE, a batter with 24 total game starts and 213 total ABs, and a RF who batted .278 and fielded .968 all beat out both SS Tony Fernandez (.297) and C Don Crow (.303)? R U Serious?

forgot to mention that fernandez is a middle infielder and crows a catcher... they played great at hard to fill positions. A lof of the voting this year was different, but i didnt vote so i cant complain.

pretty sure if i remember correctly I voted Fernandez #1. atleast #2.
I do feel as though Mark Knudson should have gotten more votes...not win, but more vote.
3.05 ERA 137.1 IP. 2 votes? (which might have both been mine O.o)

Kdunson also almost allowed hitters to hit .300 on him (.283) he also was 2-4 in save opportunities. HIs Dice was almost a run higher then that low era (3.79). He had 7 wins.... A lot of those starts are going to take you away from being rookie of the year
