NL Rookie of the Year candidates:
Hanley Ramirez

Josh Johnson
Matt Cain
Andre Ethier
Prince Fielder

AL Rookie of the Year candidates:
Justin Verlander
Josh Papelbon
Francisco Liriano
Kenji Johjima
Jered Weaver

You could build a championship team with those players as your core.

2006 was good... But i would be suprised if 2010 isnt better we already have a great ROY race that is gonna go on. An then add in the June callups that teams will make.
