The A.L. Rookie of the Year: Andrew Bailey
Bailey beat out Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus. Rick Porcello was third.
Bailey was an All-Star reliever for the Athletics who had 26 saves and a 1.84 ERA. He is the seventh Athletics player to win A.L. Rookie of the Year since 1974 when Mike Hargrove was the only winner in Rangers history.
The Athletics have had eight Rookie of the Year winners, tying the Yankees for most ever by an A.L. team. The Dodgers have had 16.
Bailey received 13 first place votes. Andrus received eight and Porcello received seven.
I was rooting for Elvis, but congradulations to Bailey. He had a pretty good resume of his own.

Blah! A reliever is ROY? 80 innings of play. Garbage. At least give it to a starting pitcher that sees a lineup more then once.
