Seems like we already did this a few months back.

Back when brauny-stradamus predicted Pineda would go 18-7 with 200Ks. Of course, after Pineda was shut down in ST, brauny had a big "I TOLD YOU SO" post claiming he correctly predicted the injury.

My prediction for 2012: we discover that brauny has had some serious head trauma.

As far as I know Yu Darvish is considered a MLB rookie, however Dee Gordon had 224 ABs last year and no longer qualifies for ROY consideration.

Jonathan Mayo said:
To be eligible for the Top 100 list, a player must have rookie eligibility. To qualify for rookie status, a player must not have exceeded 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the Major Leagues or accumulated more than 45 days on the active roster of a Major League club or clubs during the 25-player-limit period, excluding time on the disabled list or in military service.

...

Prospect Watch follows the guidelines laid out by the new Collective Bargaining Agreement: Players who are at least 23 years old and played in leagues deemed to be professional (Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Cuba) are not eligible.
http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd ... b&c_id=mlb

But then, on Mayo's Blog, he says that Darvish can't be on Prospect Lists, but can still win the ROY.

So what is it that these players are ineligible for, Prospect Status? It seems that MLB thinks prospect lists are really important.
