FL Rookie of the Year candidates

Post by cheekimonk » Mon Feb 21, 2011 7:55 am

Quite a few more rookies jumped out at me in the Frick League. Under the same caveats as the JL list, here we go:

C Conner Keely

It's very rare for a catcher to withstand the demands of the position and still excel offensively. Even more rare for that player to be a rookie and even more rare than that, to be sporting a pornstache. But I digress. Keely has turned in a solid .308 batting average with 5 HR and 28 RBI. He also has 13 stolen bases as a catcher!! His OPS of .857 could hurt him, but his OBP is a whopping .401. Good grief, where do I get a catcher like this?

3B Larry Sunderland

The Bulls told Sunderland the job was his before spring training started. For Sunderland, that has been no sweat. Sporting a .316 average in the middle of June, he has slugged .539 with 12 HR and 37 RBI. He has also turned in an OPS of .924. It's hard to find a weakness in his game, but his fielding is average and he has no speed whatsoever.

P Robert Yoo

P Robert Yoo needs to get some more innings under his belt the rest of the year, he has only thrown 19.1 innings, but his ERA of 2.33 and WHIP of 0.98 are hard to ignore. He has struck out 15 batters in those 19 innings and only walked 5. We'll keep an eye on this kid...
