One thing I never got - why is rookie status determined by at-bats and not plate appearances? If you exceed 130 ABs as a hitter, you are not a rookie for the next year. But if you walk, it doesn't count towards the total. Odd.

I just realized that Daniel Murphy had 131 ABs on the year to kill his chances for 2009 ROY If he had walked instead of striking out in his pinch-hitting appearance on the last day of the year, he'd still be rookie eligible.
