Here are the top rookies in the American League this year. In order to qualify as a rookie for this list, a player must have zero years of ML service...
AL North:
Cristian Edmonds and Julian Valdes (Fargo), Yamid Navarro (Iowa City)
AL East:
Alvin Tracy (Hartford), Felix Pickering, Raymond Sellers, Stu Hull, Horacio James, C.J. Counsell, Russ Lankford and Andrew Bradley (Charlotte), Kevin Kobayashi, Joe Faulk, Javier Barrios, and Al Gonzalez (Atlanta), Leo Yeats, Otis Corino, and Esteban Cervantes (Charleston)
AL South
Mark Butler (Jackson), Max Sanchez and John Knotts (Little Rock), Scott Whiten, Sam Gonzales, Tony Westbrook, Kevin Nakano, Domingo Gonzales, Bonk Stuart, and Karim Matos (San Antonio), Ricardo Espinoza, Brian Cox, and Patsy Haney (Houston)
AL West
Miguel Herrera, Jumbo Javier, Kyle Donovan, Juan Carrasco, and Anthony Wolf (Fresno), Ichiro Nakamura and Ron Carpenter (Cheyenne), Wiki Guerrero, Larry Mullaney, and Tony Hocking (Scottsdale), Brian Morris, Flip Long, and Cesar Morales (Kansas City)
Projected Winner: Initially I thought Bonk Stuart of San Antonio was a shoe-in to absolutely run away with this award. That was until I saw Fresno's duo of Kyle Donovan & Juan Carrasco. Now I believe it's a 3 man race, and one that many people ought to be following, because these are the young horses who will eventually topple Kansas City's divisional & league dynasty.
