Best Projections! 2012 National League Rookie of the Year Picks

2012 NL ROY Predictions / Picks / Odds

The 2011 NL Rookie of the Year Award went to Braves’ phenom closer, Craig Kimbrel, and it would figure that a couple of Atlanta’s pitchers will be there again to try and keep the title in the organization.

However, this award conversation starts with the guy that everyone has been talking about for the last couple of years now it seems–Bryce Harper.

More than capable, the youthful Harper will no doubt be chasing Kimbrel who came in and replaced former closer Billy Wagner in the most impressive way possible. He saved 46 games a year ago, which was second in all of baseball. He also had a K/9 of 14.84, also second among relievers. And finally, to top it all off, sported the best WAR of all relievers at 3.2, and was 42nd among all pitchers which is incredible.

Bryce Harper

Washington’s Bryce Harper made three stops a season ago. He struggled in the most recent one while only hitting .256 in 147 plate appearances. Nevertheless, that should not deter anyone from thinking the world of this kid, who will play this entire season at the tender age of 19. And although he was just sent to Triple A Syracuse by the Nats’, he will still get to the big leagues at some point this season. I don’t think anyone will hold that up, and this award has been won many times by a mid-season call up. Take 2010 as an example when then-rookie Buster Posey accepted the honors.

Randall Delgado

The big talk has been all about Julio Teheran and Arodyz Vizcaino for the Braves, but the Padres’ Randall Delgado came in and just flat out produced a season ago. He never threw out any gaudy stats in the minors, but he always had the stuff to be a more than serviceable starter for a big league club. Delgado made seven starts a season ago, and he posted a 2.83 ERA. While the rest of peripherals weren’t all there, he has the stuff to make it big in majors, and winning a ROY award would be the perfect start.

Yonder Alonso

The centerpiece of the deal that sent Mat Latos to the Reds brought this guy over to the Padres. Alonso can just flat out belt the ball, and has hit at every stop along the way. His first trip with the Reds left everyone a little disappointed with just a .207 average and zero home runs, and that led to another minor league start in 2011. The second go around last season was a completely different experience, as he hit .330 in 98 plate appearances with 5 home runs. Alonso also cut his strikeout totals by 13 percent. If he can continue that development, he will be the next star in San Diego.

Anthony Rizzo

The Cubbies Anthony Rizzo was downright awful in his big league debut a season ago, so not really the guy you would expect to be here–right? However, he has hit very well throughout his minor league stints though, and something he does well is hit for power. In 413 plate appearances a season ago in Triple A, Rizzo hit 26 homeruns. He still has time to develop his discipline too, but those power numbers alone will put him into contention for the 2012 NL Rookie of the Year Award.

Drew Pomeranz

The guy that turned out to be the main figure in a deal that sent Ubaldo Jimenez to the Indians. Drew Pomeranz will open this season in the Rockies rotation unless something major happens between now and April. Last year was just his first as a pro, and he was impressive just about everywhere, as he made his rapid ascension through the Indians organization. Pomeranz was eventually dealt to the Rockies where he was placed at AA. He lasted all of two starts there before he made his big league debut, going 2-1 in his 4 starts. He will be expected to be a major piece of this season’s Colorado team, and with enough starts, will have plenty of opportunity to lay claim to this year’s NL Rookie of the Year Award.

Best Projections! 2012 American League Rookie of the Year Picks

2012 AL ROY Predictions / Picks / Odds

The 2011 AL Rookie of the Year award as taken away by the Tampa Bay Rays’ Jeremy Hellickson.

The 2005 4th round amateur draft pick had a heck of a season, setting the bar high as he put up Cy Young worthy numbers as a rookie a year ago. Unfortunately, with an abnormal number of pitchers in the sub 3 ERA range, he was not even in contention.

So , he settled for a very much deserved Rookie of the Year award though with his 2.95 ERA, and 1.15 WHIP in 189 innings pitched.

So, with that, it makes it even more intriguing that our No. 1 pick for this year’s NL ROY Award winner also comes from the sunshine state.

Matt Moore

Everyone knows this guy’s pedigree by now. Moor made his first Major League start last season on September 9th in the lone star state against a dominant Texas Rangers’ lineup. What did he do? The Ray’s future ace threw seven shutout innings, allowing just two hits, and struck out six, to just two walks. During his 2011 season prior to being called up, he made two stops. In AA he sported a 2.20 ERA, 11.52 K/9, and a FIP of 2.62 in 18 starts.

He after, moving up to Triple A, had an ERA of 1.37, K/9 of 13.50 in 9 starts and his FIP fell to 2.02.

Jesus Montero

The former Yankee farmhand was the centerpiece of the Michael Pineda deal that took place back in the off-season. This will finally free up Montero for some consistent playing time that he has long deserved. He has hit at least .280 every stop along the way in the minor leagues. In his short stint with the Yankees a year ago, he managed a .328 average with a .406 OBP. If he can find a way to cut down on the strikeouts, he will be a force in the middle of that Seattle order.

Danny Hultzen

Another Mariner, Hultzen was the second overall pick in last year’s first player draft. He will no doubt be on the fast track to the majors, and if he gets there early enough in the season, will be a major player for this award. His case will be aided by pitching in Safeco as it is a major pitcher’s park. He is a three pitch pitcher that employs a mid-90’s fastball with a devastating changeup that sits in the lower 80’s. His third pitch is a slider that needs some work, but with time will develop into a very solid third pitch for him at the Major League level.

Brad Peacock

The A’s picked this guy up when they dealt Gio Gonzalez to the Nationals in the off-season. He made a couple of starts a season ago, and picked up a couple of wins in the process. He came on quickly last season as before the year he hadn’t had a year with a sub 3 ERA, but after dominating AA and AAA was given a shot at the Major League level where he thrived.

Jarrod Parker

The A’s have another contender, and at one time this guy was one of the best prospects around. While injuries delayed Parker’s arrival to the big leagues, he will get there at some point during this season. Although he is with a new club this season following the trade of Trevor Cahill to the Diamondbacks, he should thrive in Oakland. Parker made his first major league start a season ago, throwing 5.2 shutout innings, and A’s fans will be delighted with their new boy.
