Because Delmon Young is being considered in the AL ROY talks. However, he played a good amount last year. My question here is -- Is there a rookie limit for either ABs or IPs? Delmon last year had 126 ABs in 30 games played.

Ignor the loser above me please. I think you have to be playing for 3/4 of the year or more. Half a season is too short and same with 30 games ^^ for Delmon Young. I'd say like 125 games and up.

A player's eligibility for the ROY Award ends in the season in which his major league career totals exceed:
a. 130 at-bats;
b. 50.0 innings pitched; or
c. 45 days active service on the 25-man roster.
Delmon Young entered 2007 with 126 AB, zero IP, and 34 days of ML service, but since he debuted on 29-Aug-2006, only three days counted against his service time. So, yes, he is eligible for the AL ROY.
There are no official criteria or requirements* for "being" a rookie. There are limits after which one stops being a rookie.
* Obivously, there is a practical minimum of "one game".

A player may not have more than 130AB or 50 innings pitched
Must not have more than 45 days active excluding after the expanded rosters after Sept. 1
