The Nationals Bryce Harper is the odds on favorite to win the National League Rookie of the Year. He would be a deserving choice. His all-out style of play is winning over fans, his teammates, and even his opponents. Playing in the nation's capital, not far from New York, enhances his ROY chances all the more. His worst enemy may be himself: should he get hurt, his ROY chances (and the Nationals playoff hopes) may go up in smoke.
This past month the Braves' rookie shortstop Andrelton Simmons has also burst hard out of the gate. A slick fielder, Simmons has hit so well that manager Fredi Gonzalez has inserted Simmons in the two hole of the batting order.
While it's way too early to start thinking about ROY, lets compare their stats...for the first of many times.
PL...G...2B...BI....K..AVG...OB...SLG..OPS
AS...23...6...11...10...321...356...494...850
BH..54..12...22...47...282...357...493...850
