Rookie of the Year

I'm hear to endorse a rookie for the award of Rookie of the Year in the National League. The guess should be easy for who it is, that player is Buster Posey, catcher San Francisco Giants. I know he's not a big name like, Stasburg, Heyward or even Ike Davis from the Mets. He is however leading all rookies in average, (over 200 ab's). Had a 20 game hitting streak, and batted .417 with 24 RBI and 7 dingers in July. The kid can flat out rake, and he's also catching a majority of the Giants games since the trade of Bengie Molina. So, he's not only killing the ball but also, helping the best pitching staff in baseball make a push for the playoffs. The reason I want Buster to win this award is for one, he's in a pennant race, Strasburg isn't, Heyward is but he's been hurt. The problem is the kid gets no pub b/c he's in San Fran, not on the east coast pitching in prime time every time he throws. It's not breaking news when he sneezes. I know Strasburg is gonna be great but to tell the truth, people see him every 5 days, it's hard to get a scouting report on him. Buster is playing every day and teams have seen him in every situation yet still can't get him out. He also got a hit off Strasburg when they faced each other, so hey he already beat him. That's all for now, Go Giants, and hey football is officially started when Brett Favre can't decide on boxers or briefs.
