The MLB Blog Poll votes on the MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of Year candidates in each league throughout the regular baseball season. The Blog Poll Voters is a group of some of the best writers the baseball blogosphere. This week we vote on the National League. This week I am making an individual post per award where I show each voters selections.
Please keep in mind for Rookie of the year voting, they must be of Rookie status
as defined by Major League Baseball.

The stats section on ESPN allows you to droll down on stats by Rookie
Thus, Edinson Volquez (like Carlos Gomez in the American League) is not eligible for the Rookie of Year award. They collect 0 points in anyone who selects them for the Rookie of the Year.
National League Rookie of the Year Vote Week #4
- Geovany Soto - 79 points
- Kosuke Fukudome - 78 points
- Joey Votto - 18 points
The player ranked first on a ballot is assigned 5 points, the player ranked second is assigned 3 points, and the player ranked third is assigned 1 points.
With the Chicago Cubs in need of OBP, the arrival of RF Kosuke Fukudome’s .444 OBP is just what the doctor ordered. Add-in a rookie catcher with a .415 OBP, and the Cubs look like they could run away with the NL Central. Helping these teammates rank 1st and 2nd in the NL ROY voting are OPS greater than .900 for each.” — Eric, FakeTeams

Who in their right mind would put Votto ahead of Soto at this point? Not only is Soto outproducing him at the plate, he’s committed just one passed ball and thrown out 10 of the last 15 on the bases. Oh, and he’s a huge cog in a contending team. One site didn’t even place Soto in the top three? He’s in the top 5 in baseball in OPS!

As a far-away (Netherlands) Atlanta Braves fan, I am always looking for new sites with Braves news.
I hope that Jurrjens and McCann stays healthy all season.
