The 2006 AL and NL Rookies of the Year have been announced.
In a tight NL race, Hanley Ramirez overcame a possible vote split with teammate Dan Uggla (who finished third) to edge Ryan Zimmerman for the honor. In the AL, Justin Verlander continued '06 Tiger magic and held off Red Sox closer Jon Papelbon, snaring 26 of the 28 possible first-place votes to coast to the victory.
Personally, I would have gone with ...
... Zimmerman in the NL and Francisco Liriano (he was third) in the AL. But I don't get a vote. What d'y'all think, Bauxites?
