2011 Rookies of the Year

I posted these cards last week of what I perceived to be the favorites in the Rookie of the Year running. I also posted a poll asking who you though should win the ROY.

For the National League Kimbrel won the poll and also the Rookie of the Year award. In the AL the winner was Jeremy Helickson but I never put him on the Rookie Stars card or include him in the AL poll. There was one vote for "Other" but whoever cast that vote didn't leave a comment.

Here are the complete results:

National League

Kimbrel 3

Espinosa 2

Worley 1

Other 1

Freeman 0

American League

Trumbo 4

Hosmer 3

Nova 1

Other 1

Walden 0
