Wil Myers wins Rookie of Year. #Angels OF J.B. Shuck finished 5th, behind Myers, Iglesias, Archer and #Athletics P Dan Straily.

This is BULLSH*T

[HaloCory22]

Looks about right.

[jsnpritchett]

Um, really?

Congratulations to the @Angels J.B. Shuck for finishing 5th in the AL ROY voting! Should have been higher, but still a great accomplishment!

[tdawg87]

Defensive player of the year, 5th in AL ROY.

 

Sell high!

[Chuckster70]

JB Shuck's trade value will never be higher. Package him w/ others to get some pitching.

Some dude from Cleveland didn't list Myers in his top 3.  Nice work, pal.

Is that the same dumbass who voted Trout 3rd for MVP last year?

Nope, that was Shelden Ocker.  The guy who left off Myers is Chris Assenheimer (no joke) from the esteemed

Is that the official World of Warcraft community magazine? Cause it makes sense that Assenheimer is living in a fantasy world.

lol

 

Just looked them up.  Their circulation is just over 23,000.  Impressive. 

[tdawg87]

How do some of these idiots get a voting privilege? Does MLB just draw names out of a giant hat of all the sports reporters in the country?

[Agalloch]

Sounds about right.

[Second Base]

Whoever voted Shuck as the 2nd most valuable rookie is either joking, making a statement or should be slapped. I mean I would say trade Shuck while his value is high but I'm pretty sure no GM in baseball would be willing to give up anything more than a swingman, 4th OF or a reliever in Low-A Ball for him.  Might as well keep him, just in case he makes another catch and falls into the stands.  Entertainment value.

I would like to propose a name change:

 

the Los Assenheimers of Assenheim.

Yes

[Vegas Halo Fan]

I want to see you fit that on the uniform.

[Angelsjunky]

Shuck has no trade value. Everyone knows he's a 4-5th outfielder.

 

I might have to change my last name to Assenheimer. Wonder if the wife would go for it (both the name and action).

[Lhalo]

Angelsjunky Assenheimer does have a nice ring to it.

Congrats to Will Meyers ... it was well deserved.

I think he also deserves to have his name spelled right.
