rippleintime17 October 22, 2014 Share October 22, 2014 I know the voting was done before the post-season, but I wonder if there's any chance of Joe Panik being National League Rookie of the Year. I think he'll get votes but I doubt he'd win over Jacob deGrom. If his season with the Giants had started a little earlier, he might've had a better shot. Madison Bumgarner is flat out dominant and there is no other way to put it. I think the Royals will stand a better chance against the other Giants starters. This series is far from over. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2463-mlb-thread/page/12/#findComment-491757
