Have to go for Bryce Harper dude plays the game hard all the time. As for AL rookie of the year I'd say Mike Trout no doubt in my mind. But just for the sake of being a Tigers fan I'd love to see Quintin Berry win it

I'm with Miley. He's got the best WAR of the bunch and ROY doesn't put as much weight on contender status as the other awards.

No one is stellar, but it makes for a close ROY race. I wish Simmons (ATL) had stayed healthy. He'd definitely be in the discussion.
