00:00Let's go to the National League Rookie of the Year.
00:06The entire nation is fully aware of the guy at the top of the leaderboard, but there are
00:10a couple other names that people should be talking about, Joe.
00:14Yeah, so far it looks like Shota Iwanaga has kind of fallen into the back of his pack here,
00:18plus 750.
00:19And Paul Skeens, who gets all the media attention in the world right now, is minus money and
00:24heavy favorite for this award.
00:25And Jackson Merrill is still hanging around.
00:27He's had a phenomenal month of June, unbelievable, and another good weekend too.
00:32He's just plus 450, so if you want to wager for this award, the only value on this board
00:36is Jackson Merrill, because it looks like Paul Skeens' award to lose.
00:39But just like he'll, I don't know what he's going to do in September or even in August
00:44potentially.
00:46And is he going to be there?
00:47Is he going to be pitching?
00:48At the end of the day, don't sleep on Jackson Merrill, because he is the everyday player.
00:53And sometimes that's rewarded more than the pitchers when it comes down to Rookie of the
00:56Year.
