The Red Sox were not able to stake claim to the American League Rookie of the Year for the first time since Dustin Pedroia earned the honor in 2007, with Oakland closer Andrew Bailey taking the prize for ’09. Florida left fielder Chris Coghlan was named the National League’s ROY.

Bailey converted 26 of 30 save opportunities for the A’s, while finishing with an 1.84 ERA in 68 appearances. He struck out 91 and walked 24.

The Sox’ best candidate was reliever Daniel Bard, who finished his first big league season with a 2-2 mark and a 3.65 ERA in 49 games. He struck out 63 in 49 1/3 innings, while walking 22. Of qualifying rookie relievers, Bard was tops in strikeouts per nine innings, coming in at 11.49, topping Texas’ flamethrower Netali Feliz who was at 11.32 in his 31 innings of work. Neither pitcher received a vote.
