    The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.

    the fact that we can say this as fans of their rivals clearly shows how unbiased we are and how little anyone recognizes last year's "season"

    couldnt agree more

    White Sox start slow but catch fire in July, Eloy comes back, and Hahn adds a SP at the deadline. Hard to argue with your player picks honestly

    I didn't like the ROY options and don't know when a bunch of better ones are getting called up. Most of that is because I don't really view Arozarena as a rookie at this point and wanted to pick someone else.

    Arozarena got 18 ROY votes
    Kelenic 6
    Vaughn 5

    Those were the top three and I almost went with Vaughn simply because I saw him in college. But Madrigal is projected to hit for a good average and score some runs and I think his floor is such that he'll at least be solid

    Arozarena is too problematic for me

    Arozarena has played 67 big league games when you combine regular season (42) and playoffs (25). Almost 200 plate appearances. I know the rules are what they are, but it's dumb he's even eligible for the award again.
