Coghlan, Bailey honored with rookie awards

Players from the National League East division swept the top three spots in voting for the NL rookie of the year, as Florida Marlins outfielder Chris Coghlan won the award in a narrow race over Philadelphia Phillies left-hander J.A. Happ, with Atlanta Braves right-hander Tommy Hanson finishing third.

In the American League, Oakland Athletics closer Andrew Bailey won the award, with Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus finishing second and Detroit Tigers right-hander Rick Porcello third.

Coghlan, 24, became the third Marlins rookie honored with the award this decade, joining Dontrelle Willis (2003) and Hanley Ramirez (2006). Called up from Class AAA in early May, Coghlan led all NL rookies this year in batting average (.321), runs (84), hits (162) and on-base percentage (.390). After batting just .240 before the all-star break, he led all NL players in batting average (.372), runs (54) and hits (113) in the second half.
