Guthrie Considered Candidate for Rookie of the Year

Some people are beginning to take Jeremy Guthrie seriously as a contender for the American League Rookie of the Year award.

Here is some commentary from an online columnist:

The Sox have legitimate Rookie of the Year candidates in Dustin Pedroia, Daisuke Matsuzaka and Hideki Okajima, but the Orioles’ Jeremy Guthrie might be the front-runner for the AL award at this point. The 28-year-old, who quit baseball for two years to go on a Mormon mission to Spain, handcuffed the Red Sox on Mother’s Day before manager Sam Perlozzo inexplicably took him out with one out in the ninth, setting the stage for Boston’s most dramatic win of the season. Perlozzo has since been fired while Guthrie continues to prove that that Sunday in Fenway wasn’t a fluke.
