How is his season awesome? His 723 OPS doesn't put him in the top 5 of deserving rooks. He is having a decent season but he shouldn't even be considered.

that's ridiculous. this being a rookie award, every rookie should be considered.

of those you listed, only street, gomes and iguchi are having better seasons. (i don't buy that chacin and blanton are good, SP have a tendency to get "figured out", and other non-qualifying rookies like wang are arguably pitching better in bigger games). maybe adams, but i personally like cano better. plus cano is a true rookie. adams was called up last year. many people will say that iguchi should not be eligible (BS btw).

i don't think cano will win, or even should win, but he is having a better year than most rookies.
