I just can't get too excited about rookies or young players in baseball. It's such a "yeah, but how long can you keep it up" type sport. Hell, I just started considering purchasing a Verlander jersey last year. I'll be interested if either Harper and Trout are hitting over .300 in September. I'll be impressed if they're any good 3 or 4 years from now. For every great rookie season you can find more than half that none of us have ever heard of.
