Not even one stinkin' third place vote for Strasburg?

Congrats to Buster Posey on winning the NL Rookie of the Year award. Well deserved.

But how does Stephen Strasburg not even get a single third place vote from BBWAA voters? Here, Nationals Fanboy Loooooooser Mike talks us out of any crazy talk suggesting that Strasburg got robbed of that token gesture.

But still, would you have believed it back in June if someone told you Baseball Jesus would get shut out in the ROY voting in November?

Oh, what should have been.

In a year where at least eight everyday players made an impact (Castro, Davis, Desmond, Heyward, Posey, Sanchez, Tabata, Walker), and four pitchers as well (Garcia, Leake, Strasburg, Vetters), somebody gets left off a three-man ballot. Strasburg was left on the outside looking in this year, due to injury.
