NEW YORK – Andrew Bailey was driving along, talking to his agent on a handsfree cell phone, when another call came in. Figuring it was probably his mom, the Oakland Athletics closer finished one conversation and clicked over. Good news, kid: You're the Rookie of the Year in the American League. "At first I thought it was a prank call. Which one of my friends is playing a prank on me?"

Andrew Bailey was named AL Rookie of the Year last week, and it was well deserved. Since 2000, there have been 154 instances of a pitcher having a season with more than 80 IP and no starts. Bailey's 2009 season is one of only 13 with an ERA under 2.00 and he places 7th on the list. There were only 6 pitchers to do that this season and he was in a class by himself. ERA: 80+ IP, 0 Starts 1.84 - Andrew...

He polled no votes at all. Not a sausage. Bugger all. He didn't get a whole lot of love from the Baseball Writers Association of America but he gets some here in another installment of the Batter's Box POTD . Ricky Romero delivers a pitch against Seattle in his final 2009 start at Rogers Centre September 24th. He gave up three runs over 6 1/3 innings in a no-decision but the Jays wound up losing to...

photo by Samara Pearlstein A TRAVESTY! FredFred finished third in the RoY voting, behind the winner, Andrew Bailey of the A’s, and Elvis Andrus of the Rangers. Sure, Bailey had a sub-2 ERA, and Elvis Andrus is wicked cute, but did either of them come straight up from single-A because they were desperately needed by the [...]

The A's, who've had as many ROY winners as anyone over the last 15 years, have produced yet another bright youngster who won the honor on Monday, edging out Texas' Elvis Andrus and Detroits ' Rick Porcello for the award. This has to be especially rewarding for Bailey, because unlike the other top candidates, he wasn't handed a clear-cut role out of spring. He came into the year as a middle reliever,...

There's a writer in Chicago who is throwing a tantrum over Gordon Beckham not getting more support for the Rookie of the Year Award. Some key excerpts: Granted, the writers got it right by electing Oakland Athletics closer Andrew Bailey the 2009 AL Rookie of the Year. Bailey had a phenomenal year, start to finish and deserved the honor. But they flubbed by giving Beckham zero first-place votes and...

Congratulations to Andrew Bailey, winner of the 2009 AL Rookie of the Year award -- he probably shouldn't have won it, frankly, but the voters seem inclined to live by the mantra "when in doubt, give it to an Oakland Athletic" --he's the seventh Oaklander to win it since 1986. (The Jays have one in that time, the immortal Eric Hinske, and just one-and-a-half all-time total, to include 1979...

OAKLAND, Calif. – Mark Ellis lined a home run just over the left-field wall with two outs in the ninth inning and the Oakland Athletics avoided a three-game sweep with a 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. Ellis hit his third career game-winning homer and first since June 8 last year against the Angels off Bobby Jenks (2-4), who had previously posted five straight scoreless outings. Scott...
