doesn't he have to have played a full season (or the majority of one) in the majors?

Willie McCovey was 1959 NL ROY with 219 PA. Sanchez has 188.

If Sanchez plays every single game the rest of the season, he'll finish with 54 games played. The fewest games played by a Rookie of the Year position player is 52 by Willie McCovey with the 1959 Giants. Next fewest? Eighty-eight by Ryan Howard in 2005. Sanchez winning Rookie of the Year with so few games would not be unprecedented, but would be extremely rare.
his main competition is fulmer i guess, who's played almost a whole season for los tigres

fulmer is...a dude. sanchez has batted a 204 wRC+ in the heat of the wild card chase. you'd be crazy not to vote for him

xp i would prob vote for sanchez. by "main competition" i meant the direction in which BBWAA writers currently appear most likely to go

no i know i was just saying

i think he'll win. if anything voters will be swayed by sanchez's narrative

Castro & Gregorius first Yankee 2B/SS with 20 HR each

Funny that those two, instead of the '05-'12 combo, did it. Their previous career highs were 14 and nine.
