i would've went with Tulo and Young, all though i'm not disputing the outcome, good choices.

Braun had better numbers but Tulo is a better baseball player and was a clubhouse leader on a world series team.

Braun was a gem on my fantasy team, but I definetly thought tulo was the #1 choice for NL

I agree with Pedroia, but what I don't get is Dice-K getting more votes than Okajima. Of course, I'm of the mindset that Japanese League players shouldn't be considered rookies anyway.

Well I think the Japanese League thing did hurt them in the voting. If a true rookie starter came in and put up the numbers Dice-K had, I think he'd be voted much higher.
But I agree with you on the Okajima thing. I'm not surprised, but Okajima was arguably the MVP of the team and should have gotten much more recognition than he did.
