2016 Topps Baseball Forum

This year's Rookies of the Year are Corey Seager and Michael Fulmer.  What you you all think?

 11-7 are okay but not ROY-worthy numbers.

They had all but given it to Story before he got hurt.  Congrats to the winners.  They each will have one card added to my Award Winners binder.  That's the cool thing about Rookie of the Year.  Nobody can win it twice!

  Hideo Nomo did it twice.   Once in Japan and once in the US.    Which gets back to who should be called a rookie in MLB.

Seager was great, but Trea Turner was electric in DC and saved the team. And played out of position. Too bad there isn't a Late Call Up Rookie of the Year. 

Same for Gabby Sanchez. 

But the choices made are adequate.

Alas, the award is totally not predictive of future success. See former Cubs ROYs who aren't named Kris Bryant, for example. 

You got me there!
