Top 5 - NL ROY Candidates
Here are who I see as the top 5 NL Rookie of the Year candidates right now.
1. Dan Uggla - Marlins
2. Ryan Zimmerman - Nationals
3. Josh Johnson - Marlins
4. Hanley Ramirez - Marlins
5. Andre Ethier - Dodgers
Uggla leads rookies in HR and OPS. His combined runs and RBI are better than Zimmerman. Johnson had a shot but has cooled off. You forget how many stolen bases Ramirez has (41).
The above rankings are how I see the players but I think that Uggla, Johnson and Ramirez will split enough votes to allow Zimmerman to take home the award. And I should make clear that Uggla / Zimmerman is basically a coin-flip with Uggla having a slight advantage.
