2012 Fantasy Baseball, Rookie Report: First half awards go to…
Mike Trout (credits below)
Here is a look at my mid season rookie award winners. Qualifications for batters were 100 AB’s and pitchers 10+ games pitched. Start the debate !
C- Wilin Rosario (Colorado) 14 HR’s in just 190 AB’s. Projects into a 40+ full season number.
1B- Jordan Pacheco (Colorado). I like Rizzo here but he doesnt qualify under my parameters. Pacheco hitting .302 in just under 200 AB's.
2B- Alexi Amarista (San Diego) Alexi got hot in his recent call up. He is owned in 37% of ESPN leagues and is rising fast!
SS- Zack Cozart (Cincinnati) Zack has 9 HR’s and has played in 81 games for the Red’s.
3B- Will Middlebrooks (Boston) Will made Kevin Youkilis expendable with his early season hot start. He is a star in the making.
OF- Mike Trout (Los Angeles Angels) Trout has all the tools. His numbers are crazy .341 BA, 12 HR, 40 RBI, 57R and 26 SB’s.
OF- Bryce Harper (Washington) Harper has done well posting a .282 BA, 8 HR, 25 RBI and 10 SB season.
OF- Norichika Aoki (Milwaukee) Aoki is hitting .301 with 5 HR, 20 RBI’s and 11 SB’s in just 229 AB’s.
SP- Lance Lynn (St. Louis) Lance hit a minor bump in the road recently but he still shows a 11-4 record with 105 K's and a 3.41 ERA.
SP- Yu Darvish (Texas) Darvish sports a 10-5 record with 117 K’s and a 3.59 ERA. He is the real deal.
RP- Felix Dubront (Boston) Dubront has come out of nowhere to be a solid starter for the Bosox. He is 9-4 averaging a K an inning.
RP- Addison Reed (Chicago White Sox) Reed should have been the White Sox closer from day one. He is 13 out of 14 in save chances.
C- Wilin Rosario (Colorado) 14 HR’s in just 190 AB’s. Projects into a 40+ full season number.
