Rangers closer Neftali Feliz picked up top rookie honors in the American League in what was pretty much a sure thing. Feliz recorded 40 saves for Texas, setting a rookie record in doing so. He recorded 20 first-place votes and scored 122 points overall. Feliz hung a 2.73 ERA in 69.1 innings pitched and he also recorded a 4-3 record and 71 strikeouts. He joins former first baseman and manager Mike Hargrove as the only Texas representatives to win the hardware. Feliz is the second straight AL closer to win Rookie of the Year honors. There's no doubt he was one of the reasons why the Texas Rangers did so well and as everyone knows having a clutch closer at the latter part of a game can always be the difference between winning and losing.
