AL ROY

[J.O.]

 

[thenumberonemetfan]

longo. his ops is great and he has amazing numbers. alexei is playing nicely but his numbers dont compare to longoria.

 

[Austin]

This is an especially weak year for rookies.
Ramirez turns 27 next month!
We've been spoiled by the last few years of awesome young stars.

 

[chisox3706]

i went with ramirez. not only cuz he came out of nowhere as a sox stud (for right now at least...), but i believe in affirmative action. :lol:

not necessarily.
pedroia looked like this last year

besides the higher avg, alexei kills him in RBI and HR. (and his .306 avg doesn't make him a slouch)
new question, favorite teams aside. if the chisox win it all this year, who had a better year respectively? pedroia 07/ramirez 08?

Pretty sure Ramirez is going against Longoria and not Pedroia from last year for this years ROY.

youre right. thats why i asked a hypothetical question.

 

[NECpilgrims8]

Seriously? This again?

Stop beating a dead horse.

 

[Jaypers]

Evan almighty.

Sure hope he comes back soon.

 

[scotty21690]

Ok let's dicuss:


Longo beats Ramirez in SLG%, OBP, BB, TB, RBI, HR, 2B, and runs.



Ok I really don't think this needed to be discussed?

 

[J.O.]

i dont think you can count out alexei. if tb falls out and the white sox go far, you never know. people dont realize just how close this race is using the three big stats (avg/hr/rbi)

 

[J.O.]

one bump

 

[ostrander111]

I said ramirez cuz the rays proved they could win w/o longo

 

[kentuckyderby]

It will be Longoria

Jumped out early, made ALL Star, Rays great story, he's likeable/likable

If it turned out to be Alexei he is deserving as well

A lot closer than some may believe
(ie he is a middle infielder, you should haven't same slugging % as a conrer infielder who bats in mddle of lineup.....slugging not everything----P Rose a better player than higher slugging % gorman thomas or steve balboni)

Chciago fans appreciate how HUGE he has been for a team witha bunch of underachievers (3B, Thome, Konerko pre-August, Swisher, etc)

Basically it has been Alexei and Carlos Q from May-July with Dye having hot streaks from time to time

Longori a stud, Alexei a gem for Sox ....happy both guys succeeding

Tampa Bay falling out??? The White Sox have a MUCH bigger shot of falling out than Tampa Bay.

which is why i said IF and IF. i made two hypothetical points
