What are Neftali Feliz chances at AL Rookie of the Year?
I think they have to be pretty good. The guy is one save away from tying the rookie all-time save record (has 36, record is 37) with 19 games to go. He could easily smash the record recording 40+ saves. (currently projected to get 41)
There are other candidates out there, (Mainly Austin Jackson) but I don't think there is any question that if Feliz breaks the record he deserves the most consideration. If he smashes it, I think he would be the clear cut winner.
You know who is gonna win it!
