Dice- K for Rookie of Year?

Given that some reporters did not vote for Hidecki Matsui for ROY on basis that he was not rookie and should not be considered as such. Would you vote for Dice K

 

Hmmmm. I wonder if there are some who wouldn't/didn't vote for Dice-K or Matsui for ROY, but will ignore Ichiro's Japanese stats when he's up for the Hall of Fame. ???

 

I don't think he will, or should, win. Is Bannister eligible? I say he or Pedroia.

 

Not with a 13-11 record. If he can win 16 or 17, maybe. But right now it's Pedroia and his .318 average, 62 runs and 28 doubles has my vote. There's also Okajima's 1.17 ERA and 53 strikeouts in 61 2-3 innings. And, yes, right now, Bannister has better numbers: 11-7, 3.27 ERA. But Pedroia's my Rookie of the Year right now.

 

Dice-K isn't even the Red Sox rookie of the year, so this is a moot argument.

 

Name the better player:

13-11, 3.88 ERA
11-7, 3.27 ERA

 

Records don't mean shit. Is Pettitte the other guy?

 

Sorry, Boom

Dice-K and Brian Bannister

 

Good to see I was reading closely on a ROY thread. I'll be all right.

 

Or maybe it was because Matsui wasn't the best rookie that season.

Matsui -- .287 BA, .353 OBP, .435 SLG, 16 HR, 106 RBI, 2 SB
Berroa -- .287 BA, .338, OBP, .451 SLG, 17 HR, 73 RBI, 21 SB
