Wow. Somehow I didn't see Westy's name and voted for Fuentes. So, since I can't change it, nobody get on my back about it.

Despite how good Westmoreland has been this year, I don't see how you cannot like Tazawa as SoxProspects Rookie of the Year. He was supposed to be the
starting pitcher for the International team at the Futures Game and he steamrolled his way to Boston this season. I did not expect the kind of results he had,
not only with a new organization but in a completely different country with a completely different culture of life and baseball.

Westmoreland. He has a shot to be special, and showed it, while Tazawa isn't much more than a BOR starter, if that much.

Tazawa for me. Coming from Japan directly to Portland, then making it to the majors? Fantastic stuff.

Tazawa was only in semipro ball last year. This year, the Sox decided to promote him to the majors. That clinches it for me.

I'm more interested in the cats who voted for Wilson over Westy or June-Bug. Seriously y'all, he was good this year but.....

God damn, you're ignorant. This isn't "who has more potential". This is, who had the best season. To quote your ill-timed and unsuccessful
jab at me from earlier, you're voting on performance. If you think Westy had the better season, great. It could go either way. SP made it very clear,
don't include prospect status or future potential. Don'try to be a hard ass on the internet and "vote how you think is better".
