Gordon Beckham will win it, obviously

The race is going to come down to the wire, but Hanson has only improved as the season has gone on.

It's amazing how much deeper the NL is compared to the AL. No one in the AL is going to be an all-star caliber player for a few years at least, except Andrew Bailey (again) because of his role.

And before anyone says Porcello or Beckham, I am aware of their existence.

It is also amazing that the players in question in the AL (Porcello, Snider, etc) are 20-21 whereas all the NL rookies are 23-24. It is also amazing how the AL is 10x the league that the NL is. Put Happ with his average stuff in the AL and he is a 4.50-5.00 ERA type of pitcher.

Don't forget Anderson & Cahill.

yeah, the NL has some catching up to do...these rookies will help. I think Parra is the youngest at 22. All four of those guys are younger.
