In ESPN.com’s Hot Stove Heater series, Alan Shwarz talks about Delmon Young being one of the hottest rookies in 2007. No surprise here because Young has been at the top of most rookie prospects lists for over a year. In my opinion, the only other guy who is close is Royal’s Alex Gordon (yeah, the baseball card guy).
Young is done with the minors and we’ll get to see how special this kid is. If he can build on his late season cup of coffee, we should be talking about Young’s rookie of the year at this time next year.

Unfortunately, we don’t know if national Sportswriters consider Daisuke to be a rookie or not.
