Yahoo! Sports: MLB - Furcal voted NL Rookie of the Year
This was a good pick for the writers, though you could make a good case for Rick Ankiel. Furcal, if he is 19, is one of the youngest ROY's of all-time. Maybe he is the youngest, I can't check here at the office. I was a little surprised that Pat Burrell didn't do a little better. He had 18 home runs along with a good OPS of .822.
If Furcal is 22 or 23 then he is only a very good future player. If he is 19, he could be a Rickey Henderson type player though with a little less power. No kidding.
