He had a piece centered around him on Comcast SportsNite last night. I couldn't stop staring at his majestic eyebrows.

Geovany vs. Kosuke

Ooooohhhhhh, good point. I never really considered Kosuke a rookie, but technicalities are technicalities. May the best man win!

If Pie had just a little bit less service time, this could have been really interesting...

We shouldn't have rushed him like Corey Patterson.

You're right though, lol

Mojo - that is the greatest avatar ever. I was thinking about doing that as soon as I saw the Pie ST picture. I still may....

[TruffleShuffle]

kosuke should have a better year than soto. he should be the odds-on favorite to win it, simply because he's a lot more polished and experienced than anyone else in the race.

 

i'm assuming that bruce won't play enough (dusty is the manager). joey votto has a shot. cameron maybin will be good, but he's a little too raw at this point.

 

is justin upton still eligible?

[Clem Fandango]

Justin Upton is not eligible.

[UMFan83]

Probably the best candidates:

 

Geovany Soto, Cubs

Kosuke Fukudome, Cubs

Homer Bailey, Reds (pretty sure he's a rookie)

Joey Votto, Reds (same)

Cameron Maybin, Marlins

Andy LaRoche, Dodgers

 

Jay Bruce, Reds

Colby Rasmus, Cardinals

I think Earth2Sean had the same idea so a couple of us are already slapping it up. Share the Pie!

I don't get this ... why does everybody keep just posting his name, and other people quoting it? How did this start?

I think early on last year, a lot of people were misspelling his name. So they'd write out his full name/correct it and quote it over and over.

 

At least, I think that's how it started.

IIRC it was in the minor league forums when Soto was absolutely annihilating AAA ball and management were too soap dropping stupid to call him up, so after like his 4th or 5th multi hit game in a row, i think sethuel or someone else just quoted his name emphatically, and i guess everyone else picked on that from there.

 

But like all other NSBB inside jokes, their origins matter little as they are all accredited to the strange randomness of this great site ;).
