Here are some quotes a player might say when winning the honor:

"I'm pretty excited to be recognized in this way as the competition up here is definitely much tougher than what I've faced before."

"Am I surprised? Not really. I know I've got what it takes to be here so I expect to succeed."

"I think my mother was more excited than I was, but yeah, it's pretty cool to be getting some recognition as a newcomer to the league."

"I'm really grateful to my teammates for helping me get used to playing up here. They've been great and I'm really happy to have played so well."

"Believe me, there's a whole bunch of guys in that dugout who are intent on reminding me I'm a rookie even with this award."

"Coming in and having some success is exactly what I was hoping to accomplish this year. This is proof that I've succeeded."

"As a kid you set your heart on becoming a big leaguer. You work hard and you practice and if you're lucky you make it. I'd say I'm pretty lucky."

"If I'd known it'd be this easy I'd have told them to bring me up sooner."
