Back on March 29,2011 in a post aptly titled For What It’s Worth,I listed my division and wild card predictions along with my picks for league superlatives. My team predictions were a disaster. I correctly selected Texas as AL West champions,and the Rays as the AL wild card. The problem with the Rays selection was that I chose the Red Sox as AL East division champs. As for the NL,I received the golden sombrero. My MVP and Cy Young predictions were no better. But with today’s announcement of the Rookie of the Year awards,I can boast of complete clairvoyant abilities. Atlanta’s Craig Kimbrel and Tampa Bay’s Jeremy Hellickson are the 2011 Rookies of the Year,just as I declared on March 29,2011. [mic drop]
