Cardinal Rookie of the Year Mitchell Boggs Blake Hawksworth Colby Rasmus Write-in: ____________ Lots of respect is due to Hawksworth and the performance he turned in for 2010, all but assuring himself a slot in the 2010 pitching staff. However, no rookie contributed as much on a daily basis as Rasmus, and under the weight of great expectations...

2009 NL ROY balloting
Stan Musial's Stance (Free subscription) | 17/11/2009
Let's take a look at the NL ROY results, released yesterday. If you missed it, here is how the voting went: I'm not surprised that Chris Coughlan won as much as I am Colby Rasmus got one vote. ONE. For third place. As I noted in the Gold Glove post, Rasmus played the best defensive CF of anyone in the NL last season. You'd think he'd garner more than one vote. For argument's sake,...

... This game saw a classic pitchers duel between Pineiro and Clayton Kershaw; a clutch single from Colby Rasmus to tie it up in the bottom of the ninth; a rare (at that time) bad Franklin outing; Ludwick tying the game at 2-2 in the eleventh, then throwing out Ramirez trying to score in the twelfth; and finally AP knocking in the winner with a booming shot to CF in the fifteenth.

Does Wells Deserve the Rookie of the Year?
The Cub Reporter (Free subscription) | 16/11/2009
... J.A. Happ - 1.8 Chris Coghlan - 2.3 Andrew McCutchen - 3.4 Tommy Hanson - 2.6 Casey McGehee - 2.2 Colby Rasmus - 2.3 My guess is that it ends up Hanson, McCutchen, Happ by the voters and I would certainly encourage a more robust analysis than just WAR values, but there you have it. The Internet Baseball Awards voted Hanson the winner with Wells finishing 8th, for what it's worth....

... But he is in the same boat as Jones. Does he have enough playing time to get enough votes? Colby Rasmus (STL): 147 G, .251 AVG, 16 HR, .717 OPS Rasmus doesn’t matchup with the other candidates. His batting average and on-base plus slugging percentage are mediocre at best. Casey McGehee (MIL): 116 G, .301 AVG, 16 HR, .859 OPS McGehee has put up some solid offensive numbers,...

... to his defensive talents. No Cardinal qualified; Holliday's UZR/150 was -2.6 with St Louis. CF - Colby Rasmus , Cardinals (13.4). How about that? He beat out Mike Cameron by about 3 UZR. RF - Justin Upton , D-backs (8.0). Ryan Ludwick finished fourth with a -0.1 P - Another category where there isn't enough data, given starters work only every 5 games or so. Fangraphs ranks them based...

... with what they have. Of course, the other option is to load up on pitching and hope that Pujols, Colby Rasmus, Ryan Ludwick and Yadier Molina can put up enough runs to win some low-scoring games. To that end, John Lackey is on the market and would make for a heck of a rotation with Carpenter and Adam Wainwright, but I can’t see the Cardinals going that route. Should be interesting...

... base to Freese (.308/.384/.532 in his minor league career) could help, as could some growth from Colby Rasmus in center, but if the Cards fail to keep Holliday, they owe it to their MVP and their pitching staff to replace him. St. Louis could also upgrade its offense by taking Skip Schumaker off second base, where he's something of a butcher, making him a super sub, and signing a...
