Is Nick Kurtz the Dark Horse Threatening to Upend the AL Rookie of the Year Race?

“That’s the best part about what we’ve developed here with some of those young guys — they’re coming up together,” Cron said. “And these two guys, Jacob, with his lineage, with his dad playing [in the big leagues], he’s been around the game. The maturity of Nick Kurtz is off the charts. Physically, they’re not the same, but they have this mindset of, ‘Yes,’ — without being braggadocious —‘I’m a big leaguer.’ And there’s nothing that really fazes either one of them.”

Veterans such as Rooker will continue to play a critical role in these young players’ development, and Kurtz is quick to credit the A’s DH, as well as the recently released Seth Brown. But Kurtz also knows that the franchise’s future depends on his generation becoming the driving force behind the team’s success.
