Guys I left off the poll who had nice rookie years:

Mike Leake was a contender but has faded

Jonny Venters..should have been on the list but set up guys get no love

Jon Niese.... 9 -7 with a 3.85 ERA

Mike Stanton....15 HR and 51 RBI in only 262 AB's !!! Unfortunately has a .233 BA with other poor stats

Jose Tabata.... .310 BA with 14 SB

Neil Walker.... .313 BA with 9 HR and 49 RBI


OTHERS:

Strasburg
Chris Johnson
Pedro Alvarez

Posey got my vote, but Im not sure I would say he is better than Jhey. He has been moving everywhere in SF's lineup and is in a little slump, I know he had a 2 run single vs. LAD on FRI though.

[elliott one]

I like chris johnson. But he has slumped of late.

Im sure hayward or posey will win it.

Dino, I'm moving this to all sports discussion because we are trying to keep "Game" polls on the front index page

[wayne1218]

To me this isn't even close. It is a CLEAR CUT 2 man race with Heyward and Posey and i think Heyward wins it.

Garcia ?

Rookie lefty with 13 wins and 2.35 ERA ?

[wayne1218]

Posey

[tech fan]

Heyward has helped the braves along with alot of others on that team.he has had the luxary of having alot of different guys step up and make crucial game winning hits or important base hits so the braves being in the running this year in my opinion is a total team effort.with the giants the best hitter in that roster is aubrey huff and posey is alot more valuable to that team and what he offers that what heyward does for atlanta.heyward was on the 15 day dl and atlanta did not miss a beat.if posey went on the dl then the giants would fall out of the race

[tech fan]

I agree about johnny venters not winning it because of being a set up man.i honestly dont feel like a set up man should be the rookie of the year. But check out these stats

64 games
4 wins
2 losses
1 save
19 holds
70 innings pitched
78 k's
1.79 era
1 hr given up
32 walks

in my opinion i feel like venters has been more valuable for atlanta this year than heyward.

There is not a stat sheet for a guy that comes in with a 3-2 lead and bases loaded 1 out and gets out of the inning without giving up a run.its given a hold in the stat sheet but that does not serve justice to what it meant for the game he possibly changed the outcome of that game and only faced 2 batters and threw 10 pitches

Heyward!
