J-Roll

Here's some New York props for Jimmy Rollins, courtesy of the NY Times' Jere Longman:

"As the regular season winds down, with three home games against Washington, he has delivered the best year of his career and perhaps has become the league's most complete shortstop.

Rollins is the first major leaguer to have at least 200 hits, 15 triples, 25 home runs and 25 stolen bases in one season. He is also only the third everyday shortstop to hit 30 homers and steal 30 bases in a season, joining Barry Larkin in 1996 and Alex Rodriguez in 1998.

Rollins ranks first in the N.L. in runs scored (136), at-bats (704), multihit games (62) and triples (19). He began the day tied for second in hits with 207 before adding to his total and drawing within one at-bat of the single-season record of 705, set by Willie Wilson of Kansas City in 1980.

'Thirty homers, Gold Glove at shortstop, steals bases, hits for average — yeah, I'd say you could make a case he's as good as there is,' Atlanta Manager Bobby Cox said of Rollins."

I'm predicting a big game from #11 this afternoon.
