The BBWAA announced today that they voted Florida left fielder Chris Coghlan the National League Rookie of the Year. While Coghlan had a great year, posting a .321/.390/.460 line and a .372 wOBA in 565 PA, he wasn't quite the best rookie in the National League. That would be Andrew McCutchen. [...]

NL Rookie of the Year Ballot
Originally posted at raisethejollyroger.com NL Rookie of the Year is a ridiculously tough call this year. Especially as a Pirates fan/homer.
