"I don’t know, but I think Rick Porcello probably should win it. At 20 years old, or 21, to do what he did—even if you take the numbers out, and look at the performances he had, he had a big performance in that last game that they played in. And to win 14 games at his age, it was pretty special to do that. It’s not easy to go up there and do that against hitters in the big leagues.
"So, if I had a vote, other than me, obviously, it would definitely be him. It would definitely be him. We faced each other in our first game, and to see him mature over the year, including when we faced each other a second time, and listening to guys talk about his stuff, he’s just pretty special."
-- Toronto's Ricky Romero, asked by Baseball Prospectus' David Laurila about the AL Rookie of the Year vote, which will be announced today.
