Re: American League ROY???
Im biassed but i have to go with feliz. How many games has Jackson won with his bat? More than 20+ of his saves have come in one run games. Without him the rangers wouldnt have one as many games as they have. He also pitches in one of the best hitters parks in baseball. He's dominant and other teams fear him.

295 batting average 4 homeruns and 37 rbi's and 160+ k's those numbers dont exactly wow you. Feliz is a shutdown closer and jackson looks like a bit piece on a bad team. I know ESPN has hyped him up but those numbers wouldnt strike fear into many AL pitchers.

I would vote Feliz. Jacksons 161 strike outs is bad especially for a leadoff man.

MLB.com has a poll regarding this question as I write this. Feliz leads at 37%, with Jackson at 34%, and other players garnering 20% or less. For the record, I voted for Feliz.

Re: American League ROY???
Austin Jackson just scored his 100th run of the season. He just joined a rookie group that has at least 100 runs, 170 hits, 30 doubles, 10 triples, and 20 steals. Only nine rookies in the common era, that's since 1901, have been able to reach all of those marks. Those players are: Shoeless Joe Jackson (1911), Roy Johnson (1929), Evar Swanson (1929), Barney McCosky (1939), Minnie Minoso (1951), Juan Samuel (1984), Nomar Garciaparra (1997), and Hanley Ramirez (2006). Just saying, cause that's my guy.

Re: American League ROY???
I know what he did, he set the record for most saves by a rookie playing the most stressful position in baseball.
