NL Rookie of the Year

Just saw on ESPNnews that Ryan Howard is the NL Rookie of the Year. That's fine with me, of all the NL rookies his stats were arguably the best (I still say Duke was better, but Howard was very very good). What I don't like is Willy Taveras finishing second and Jeff Francouer finishing third. As previously discussed, Taveras sucks, he just happened to play a lot, and Francouer made a big splash, but couldn't keep it up for his whole stint (which was just as long as Duke's was). In the AL Huston Street won, putting my predictions at 1-for-2.

UPDATE (2:50PM)- ESPN.com has a story up now. Duke actually finished FOURTH, behind Garrett Atkins, the guy everyone dismissed because he played in Coors Field. FOR SHAME, VOTERS, FOR SHAME!
