Here are the stats for all of the rookie hitters and pitchers. Just click on NL to get the candidates.
It looks like Billy Hamilton is the frontrunner, with 51 stolen bases. No one else is doing very well in the NL.

Jeurys familia or Jacob degrom could have a chance in the NL
Well...Dustin Pedroia was the was the 2007 AL ROY and followed that up as the 2008 MVP. Add in a few WS championships, AS game selections, and Golden Gloves and you have a pretty good example of a player who survived the curse pretty well.

Sure there are some duds, but most ROY winners have better than average careers. Many have had great careers.
But thats just one out of the how many ROY's in both AL & NL that havent survived the curse?

Seriously?
2001 - Ichiro, Pujols
2005 - Houston Street
2006 - Verlander, Hanley Ramirez
2007 - Pedroia, Bruan
2008 - Longoria
2010 - Posey
2011 - Kimbrel
2012 - Trout
So, not all are great. But many are very, very good.
Not really trying to argue - and I agree that some have totally flamed out.
Just pointing out that since 2000, we have had some pretty darn good players with that award.

Plus, IF he wins Hamilton would probably not suffer that much of a downturn because so much of his offensive game is based on speed.
He hasn't hit very well (.267) and has still had a pretty good Season for that reason...

It's interesting that when fellow speedster Vince Coleman won ROY in 1985, he had the exact same .267 batting average as Hamilton, but he also had an incredible 110 stolen bases compared to the 60-65 that Hamilton should finish with.

Hamilton, as of now
Eh? Google kind of helps before making these claims.

DeGrom or Hamilton.
What a lousy class this is. I love how Baez is trying to match Olt's .139 BA

I agree, I remember the 2007 NL class with Tulo, Pence, and Braun. That was an impressive NL Rookie class.
I also wish panik had more at bats to be considered :/ he is hitting .312 in 157 at bats

You're going to see this more in the future in my opinion. Because of service clocks, and ROY eligibility prospects are getting called up too late to qualify or really have the season-long statistics but surpassing the ROY eligibility requirements before the year is out. Otherwise a guy like Anthony Rendon would be on his way to a sweeping victory in this years NL ROY after having really no chance at the award last season as he was called up later, but not late enough.
