    ROY Announced

    AP - NEW YORK -- Hanley Ramirez of the Florida Marlins won a tight race for NL Rookie of the Year, and Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander took home the AL award Monday.
    Ramirez beat out Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman by only four points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. The speedy shortstop got 14 of 30 first-place votes and finished with 105 points. Zimmerman received 10 first-place votes and totaled 101 points.
    Three of the top four NL finishers were Marlins. Second baseman Dan Uggla came in third, getting the other six first-place votes, and pitcher Josh Johnson was fourth.
    Verlander easily won the AL honor after his closest competitors in a race dominated by pitchers were sidelined late in the season because of injuries. The hard-throwing right-hander, who helped the surprising Tigers reach the World Series, was listed first on 26 of 28 ballots for a total of 133 points.
    Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon came in second with 63 points, and Minnesota lefty Francisco Liriano finished third.

      Congrats Hanley.

          I thought Zimmerman was a lock with 20+ HR and 100+ RBI, but Hanley was worthy. It sucks to see that Markakis didn't get any love, which he deserves.

              So Zimmerman was screwed out of the ROY and a Gold Glove this year.

                      I was a little surprised that Verlander ran away with the AL ROY. I thought that Liriano would've gotten a little more support.

                          Being out most of the second half of the season did him in..

                              You're probably right but I thought his lights out performance would've evened it out a little. I wasn't expecting him to win it, just make the voting a little closer.

                                  I don't have a problem with either pick. Liriano's hopes were ruined by his injuries. I would have been fine with either Ramirez or Zimmerman, maybe even Uggla. Pretty good year for NL rookies.

                                      Can't argue these guys. They both deserved it.

                                      Tough for Zimmerman and Uggla. They played in a competitive rookie year.
                                      "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace
