2009 ROYs — AL Andrew Bailey, NL Chris Coghlan. What do you think?
Well, I’m surprised. A little bit at Coghlan — good choice — and almost shocked at Bailey. He was getting nil buzz, but took the AL ROY handily.

7. Garret Jones — 0, 0, 2 — 2
8. Four players tied with 1 point (1 3rd place vote) each — Everth Cabrera, Dexter Fowler, Gerardo Parra, Colby Rasmus.
While normally I would question choosing a reliever, in this case a 1.84 ERA and the lack of a great season by any starter or position player makes Bailey a good choice.
Coghlan was a good choice - I wouldn’t have argued if it were him or J.A. Happ (an ERA under 3.00 in that ballpark is outstanding). I only saw a few Marlins games this year, but when I did two things impressed me - their starting rotation and Chris Coghlan.
Kudos to the writers (except the guy who gave Randy Wells a second place vote), hopefully they perform as well on the Cy Young and MVP votes.

I think the top 2 contenders in the NL are Chris Coghlan (Marlins) and J.A. Happ (Phillies) and the top 2 contenders in the AL are Gordon Beckham (CWS) and Elvis Andrus (Texas).

cant really argue the picks both played really well. bailey was an all-star so he pitched well all year. coghlan played really well in the second half and ended up with great stats.
How you finish | Nov 16, 2009
personly, my thought was that Rick Porcello would have gotten the AL ROY
14 wins and a 3.96 ERA, good player.
he also pitched like a veteran even though he is only 20

They weren’t my picks but I can’t argue them. Both are still good picks and both made compelling cases for the 2009 ROY.
Very surprised though. I thought McCutchen and Beckham would taken them and am surprised they placed so low.

AL ROY should have been Rick Porcello… I mean this guys only 20 years old and if hes got 14 wins now.. how many will he have in years to come?
NL ROY to be honest, did not see Coghlan taking this one, though he worked wonders for Florida, I still think JA Happ should of took this, another great promising pitcher

Bailey is a good choice. He’s the obvious winner from the AL. I really like Beckham, but you can’t argue against Bailey.
I like Coghlan alot. He was a steady producer at the top of the Marlins’ lineup, but I’m surprised that McCutchen didn’t get more recognition.
I’m a Cardinals fan, so I watched the Pirates play several times in the second half. McCutchen has all the skills to be an unreal player. He played in twenty fewer games than Coghlan and besides average, he had better overall numbers, especially in the stolen base category.
And what about McGehee? I know what he did this year was kinda lost behind the great years by Fielder and Braun, but you can’t ignore his power numbers. McGehee’s defense was probably his downfall, but he sure did kick the Cardinals’ butt this year.
As far as Happ and Hanson, I don’t believe that a starting pitcher should get rookie of the year unless they put up Cy Young type numbers. They can only help you win every fifth day, and if Happ is so good, why didn’t he start in the postseason?

Agree with NL.
I thought Jeff Niemann should have won in the AL, but Bailey is still a good choice. I think closers are very overrated though.
White Sox | Nov 16, 2009
I’m okay with Bailey but I really think Happ should have won in the NL.
The Fightins' | Nov 16, 2009
I wouldn’t argue with either choice actually this year; I actually though Chris Coghlan was going to get ignored in favor of J.A. Happ.
The real surprise now is that Coghlan didn’t make the Marlins out of spring training.
