2006 MLB Awards Thread
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. Source: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2660401

Re: 2006 MLB Awards Thread
I dont necessarily believe Papelbon should have won but Verlander winning by such a large margin...I'm not so sure
Verlander 17-9 3.63 ERA 1.33 WHIP 124 K in 186 IP Papelbon 4-2 35 saves 0.92 ERA 0.78 WHIP 75 K in 68.1 IP

Zimmerman getting 1st place votes is a joke. [/ QUOTE ] Seriously, but fortunately Hanley won anyway.

[/ QUOTE ] Three other Marlins (Scott Olsen, Anibal Sanchez, Josh Willingham) got votes. So of the 12 rookies receiving at least one vote, 6 were Marlins (and 3 were Dodgers).
