(hide summary▲)

Everyday rookie regulars are still relatively unique compared to pitchers who, thanks to the deployment of modern bullpens, keep having sudden and amazing success.

Rookie relievers benefit from spot duty, which keeps them from overexposure. In the American League this season, no fewer than nine rookie relievers have worked 30-plus innings with ERAs below 3.00.

That is pretty amazing, considering a 30-inning workload amounts to full-time duty for today's matchup arms. And it's a good reason why handicapping the field of favorites for this year's American League Rookie of the Year Award is such a daunting undertaking.

Who will win the AL Rookie of the Year 2008?
