The Boston Red Sox’s Jason Bay was honored with his first, the Tampa Bay Rays’ Evan Longoria at third, and the Toronto Blue Jays each had first-timers with Aaron Hill at second and Adam Lind as the designated hitter. The rest of the league squeaked in Joe Mauer, catcher for the Minnesota Twins with his third, and Ichiro Suzuki from the Seattle Mariners and Torii Hunter from the Los Angeles Angels in outfield, with their third and first, respectively.

The Portland Trail Blazers’ first-round acquisition in this past year’s draft, Brandon Roy, has been awarded the Eddie Gottlieb Trophy as the league’s 2006-07 T-Mobile Rookie of the Year. (Everything is branded nowadays, isn’t it?) He received 127 total first place votes out of a possible 128, yielding a total of 638 points. Andrea Bargnani (264 points) of Toronto and Memphis’ Rudy Gay (93 points) came in second and third place, respectively.
The votes were cast by a panel of sports writers and broadcasters. First place votes garnered five points; second place, three; third place, one. Roy becomes only the third Blazer to ever win the award, and the first in over 30 years – the previous winners were Geoff Petrie and Sidney Wicks in the ‘70s.
