Not too bad for Murphy winning the the first AL installment of the MLB's newest award, the rookie of the month.

David Murphy finished April batting .277 with a .342 OBP, 11 doubles, 2 homers, 15 runs scored and 14 RBI and was voted the American League's top rookie for the month of April.

Murphy beat out Jacoby Ellsbury, former Ranger farmhand Armando Galarraga, and Greg Smith (the same Greg Smith that Texas beat 4-0 yesterday) to win the award.

Murphy status as a mainstay in the Ranger lineups seems to be on thin ice right now though. After his solid April, Murphy is batting just .194 in May, although he does have 2 homers and 7 RBI in 9 games this month.

Texas had the AL Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month. Nice!

Yeah! Just too bad their awards won aren't indicitive of their record. I guess they are nice consolation prizes though.

That's some pretty good competition there (especially Smith). But props to him for winning this most prestigious honor. Maybe it's a sign of things to come? Who knows.

Need I say more?
