So this is a strange one ... according to OOTP, everyone (well, virtually everyone) in the league is a rookie. So we're instead giving it out to the best performing players who did not qualify for the league leaderboards--essentially mid or late season call ups.
Here are the position players under consideration
Code:
Name Tm Pos G BA OPS SLG WAR
John Briggs BRK OF 39 322 415 529 0.9
Jim Edmonds HOD OF 71 293 348 576 2.0
Al Kaline DET OF 34 301 374 573 0.9
Andy Van Slyke HOM U 69 321 373 558 2.5
Larry Walker OTT OF 79 282 375 589 2.9
And, the pitchers
Code:
Name Tm Record G GS Sv H WAR
Bob Feller CLE 8-4, 3.89 24 11 0 0 1.8
Greg Maddux BBB 6-7, 3.53 27 18 0 2 1.8
Joseíto Muñoz POR 5-5, 2.57 24 9 3 2 1.8
Mike Mussina BAL 16-7, 4.08 29 16 1 1 1.9
Bret Saberhagen HOU 4-7, 4.02 17 17 0 0 1.8
Ed Walsh CAG 8-3, 3.26 35 11 0 5 3.2
I'm going to push
Walker out of the running, as his limited time was almost exclusively through injury.
Muñoz is probably the most impressive performer over the small sample size. But it
is a small sample size. We'll go with Walsh, Van Slyke, and Muñoz.
