During the Cubs impressive win against the Diamondbacks on Friday, the announcement was made that Geovany Soto was named the National League Rookie of the Month for April. Soto earned the first monthly honor handed out to the league's top rookie performer....the new award is sponsored by Gillette.

Soto received more votes than teammate Kosuke Fukudome and both Jair Jurrjens of the Braves and Kyle McClellan of the Cardinals. David Murphy of the Rangers was voted the top rookie for the American League.

Geovany Soto hit .341 in the first month of the season with a .424 OBP and a .635 SLG to go along with 8 doubles, a triple, 5 home runs and 20 RBI's with 54 total bases....and an impressive 1.060 OPS.

...oops. I really like this site.


Why does Fox have to block the games every saturday? I have the mlb xtra innings [cable] mlbtv[internet] and I can't see the game because Fox wants to show the Yankees? Honestly I hope they go broke...

Hey augstin,
I am in the same boat here in South Florida. Its all NY all the time. WGN use to carry some Saturday games and I would get those, but that seems to be a thing of the past. Directv's Xtra Innings use to be worse though, because they use to black out Saturday games for FOX, and Wednesday night games for ESPN. Still, with most games in HD and being able to flip around and watch any team in the League, is pretty sweet.

Gary don't get me wrong Xtra innings is the best invention since electricity and it really rocks but I still hate Fox.
