and here we go....
Salt Lake City - CF
Jeff leads all AL rookie candidates in home runs with 23 dingers and rbi with 63 steaks and is second in batting average at .312. his 1.017 is tops also and the only one over 1.000. add 37 steals to that and you got a pretty darn good player. a confident Salt Lake GM Wylie has already predicted an AL ROY award for Jeff with enthusiasm and he may indeed be right.
Arizona - DH
yes he is a DH. points lost there. he also has the highest batting averege among the candidates at .335 and the 2nd highest ops at .940. Vinces 14 jacks and 52 rbi rank just below some of the other candidates however....also points lost. Still in it but can he overcome prejudice and power?
Texas - 3b
Harry is a newcomer to the rankings. 19 jacks and 49 rbi will get you in but his .266 average needs to come up a bit to seriously be considered. the 13 steals help but not enough to overcome some of the competitions stats thus far. We'll keep an eye on Harry though and see if he can creep closer to the top.
Las Vegas - LF
Also with 19 home runs Dougie's got the edge on Harry Delgado with his 56 rbi. his .251 average doesn't help much though and like Harry he'll need to improve that if he wants any serious consideration.
St. Louis - LF
19 is a common number it seems. That's also how many homers Louis has and he has 60 ribbies to go with them. a respectable .270 average and a whopping 55 steals definitely make Louis one to watch. a little less power than Brooks but a little more speed..... the voters known love of the long ball may be to Louis disadvantage here.
Rochester - SS
Last and well... possibly least here we have Thomas Gibbons. Also a newcomer to the rankings Thomas is worth mentioning due to his nice .287 average, 50 rbi and an impressive 40 steals. Only 2 Home runs will hurt him though and an ops of .679 is hardly impressive. Money says he doesn't make the final five.
Rankings:
1. Jeff Brooks
2. Louis Hiljus
3. Vince Cummings
4. Douglass Crudale
5. Harry Delgado
6. Thomas Gibbons
