well he finished second so i think that's enough respect and recognition right there.
Eric Hinske was the hands down rookie of the year in the AL this year. There really was no competition.

I'm a huge Jays fan, but I'd be the first to admit that it shouldn't have been a landslide, and there WAS competition. look at wins above replacement and various other stats, factor in Hinske's terrible defense and Lopez's season was about even. Who would I rather have? Hinske, of course. But just based on last season, I think their performances were about even.
