Default MLB awards.. what about the ROY\'s?

Good discussion about the MVP and Cy Young awards, but how about the ROY's?

Duke would likely win ROY however the word is he will not qualify due to his recent injury, thus Francouer should win in a landslide.

Cano should not even be in the discussion for ROY. He is so undeserving it is not even funny.

I give the AL ROY to Street and the NL ROY to Duke.

apart from having an awesome season and helping his team with some valuable service (replacing guys who shouldn't be there), how is he undeserving?

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.

ok, lets be serious. cano is not in this discussion. hes a good rookie hitter, and will probably turn out to be a solid 2b, but right now he has a low OBP and makes big defensive mistakes late in games. he can play 2b very well but when the pressure is on he looks like a rookie.

hes definitely got some skills, but hes not there yet.

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.
