Anyone else expecting big years out of any rookies?

I've got a young SP who got a couple nice bumps over the offseason and will be in my rotation.  He won the Explorer League Most Valuable Pitcher Award last year and went 3-1 with a 2.19 ERA in 5 September starts with the Aviators.  - Jesus Ortega

There is only one other rookie projected to make the 25-man roster for me, but I doubt he will be in the Rookie of the Year conversation because he is more of a defensive speedster than a big hitter.  OF Francis Ridley, who hit .310-22-94 with 28 SB last season in AAA.

And...  54 games into the season, Ridley leads the PL in WAR with 2.7.... hahaha   I guess he will be in the ROY conversation.

I've got 21-year old SS Leonardo Ocasio up with the big club to start the season. He was named MVP of Union League East last season in AA with a 5.1 WAR season there and 42 steals (but caught 30 times). Kind of a wild card for me, he's rated #37 prospect and could really add some speed to the lineup if he can get on base but he's still very young. but I'm trying him out as a leadoff guy and we'll see what happens early in the season.

Another is 20-year old 3B Eddie "The Gifted" Taylor who has become the player to officially displace Jose Ortiz at third base after Ortiz had played there for 15 years. 40-year old Ortiz will primarily DH this year.

And former #1 overall pick Joe "Hey Zeus" Berry will start in the Maryland bullpen. He's just 22.

Hopefully I'm not ruining all of these guys by bringing them up early but we have to try something and get some of these high draft picks to actually pan out.

Eddie Taylor took Rookie of the Month, he's hitting pretty well and leading the PL in stolen bases.

Leonardo Ocasio is just coming back from a concussion.

Berry's been about replacement level in the bullpen thus far.

New York has a ton of rookies playing really well too

[mstreeter06]

Sim 10 is completed. New file is up with everything else on the way. July 8th games have been played but the game hasn't been advanced to avoid the CPU from selecting the ASG rosters.

ASG voting is due by next sim (Wed 6/14). This is a mandatory league task so get this done if you haven't already. Voting is done in StatsLab.
