The Natural? Of course he does. It's not just that he has two homers in his first two starts. The guy takes professional at bats and since the Reds are going to shock the nation, he'll definitely have the notoriety. If it should all fall apart, he still is a major success for all that he has over come. I, as a Reds fan got a little misty eyed at opening day when he received a standing ovation.

Unless Josh is faking it, and is not a Rookie, he has a pretty good chance. All he has to do is live up to the hype, hit a few critical runs, and hold on to the ball. Of course, there are some other up and coming rookies, who are also in the running.

I think he has a real good chance at it. The season is young, but he is putting up pretty good numbers off the Reds bench. He definately has been the feel-good story of the year so far. Another award he could definately challenge is the Comeback Player of the Year.

Sure in the National League. The American League has way too many candidates: Hughes, Young, Dukes, Gordon etc...but the National League doesn't have any stand out names. I can only think of Tulowitzki in Colorado and Bailey another Red.

Any rookie does at this point. It all depends on the entire season... so yes, I could easily see Hamilton stepping up and winning it.

I think he could provided he gets the playing time. With Dunn, Freel, JR in the OF it may be hard for him to get enough AB's. But if Cin moved Dunn back to first or Freel back to the infield and he plays full time then yes.
