Chris Coghlan returned to his home in Tarpon Springs Monday empty handed from a two-week hunting trip to Kansas. But the Marlins left fielder then bagged a trophy bigger than any potential deer on Tuesday when he was named the National League Rookie of the Year. Coghlan, 24, beat out runner-up J.A. Happ of Philadelphia and third-place finisher Tommy Hanson of Atlanta, both pitchers, in becoming the...
Blogging the Offseason is a 30 team series in which I ask a blogging representative from each MLB team a series of ten questions about their desires and thoughts surrounding the offseason. Check out all of them here. Today's team NL is the Pittsburgh Pirates and our guest is Pat from the Pirates Blog, Where Have You Gone Andy Slyke? . 1. Do you foresee the Pirates making any significant offseason moves...
Meet the Mets Toby Hyde provides the valuable AFL update . Here's Part 2. While I'm pleased with the strong performances by guys like Ike Davis and the optimistic stories about Jenrry Mejia, I'm keeping the closest watch on the guys who have a legitimate shot at being Mets in 2010 (Josh Thole, Chris Carter, and Nick Evans). Two for three isn't too bad. The Mets will open their Grapefruit League schedule...
By Chuck Finder | 10:50 p.m. Monday While Florida leadoff hitter Chris Coghlan won the National League Rookie of the Year -- and, if anyone cares, Oakland closer Andrew Bailey on the American League side -- a pair of Pirates became the fifth tandem in club history to finish among the top 10 for the NL honor. Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen finished fourth and outfielder-first baseman Garrett...
Chris Coghlan of the Florida Marlins may be pouring a cocktail or two today as he wins the National League Rookie of the Year award . The 24 year-old Coghlan beat out Phillies lefty J.A. Happ by just 11 points for top NL rookie honours. Rounding out the top five were Atlanta pitcher Tommy Hanson , Pittsburgh center fielder Andrew McCutchen (Baseball America's Rookie of the Year) and Brewers infielder...
The “official” Rookie of the Year Award winners were announced today, and Andrew McCutchen did not take home the hardware, despite the support of Baseball America and the Baseball Bloggers Alliance. I’m not stunned he didn’t win it. Tommy Hanson and J.A. Happ were very solid candidates as well, and they both played on successfull teams. [...]

I think they're on the verge of announcing the N.L. Rookie of the Year and Randy Wells was in the running for most of the season. Ultimately I don't think he'll get more than a few third place votes from the Chicago writers and I don't have much time to put together a full analysis, so I'm just going to lazily look at WAR values over at Fangraphs. Randy Wells - 3.0 Garrett Jones - 2.6 J.A. Happ -...

But Detroit's Rick Porcello won 14 games and was a stalwart starter on a playoff team at age 20. Tampa Bay's Jeff Niemann, Oakland's Brett Anderson and Andrew Bailey...
Because I've been away for a few days I've fallen behind on a couple of things, including the unveiling of the SBN and IBWAA postseason awards. My apologies. Let's start with the SBN Awards: If you read any of the other SBN baseball sites, you may have seen some of these, but if you don't, they're new to you. Two BCB writers contributed to each of the NL awards: I had one vote, and TheJay had the other....
