Now that the dust has settled on spring training and 25-man rosters have been finalized, we can get a clearer picture of the likely candidates for the 2012 AL and NL Rookie of the Year Awards. While there are plenty of high-profile prospects expected to be the early pace-setters, the rookie of the year field is notoriously difficult to handicap.

Miguel Olivo (C, SEA) was back behind the plate on Thursday, a day after taking his first rest of the season on Wednesday, yielding to Jesus Montero (C/DH, SEA). The Mariners got a good night out of John Jaso (C, SEA) on Wednesday, who served as the DH and got two hits in four AB. With both Montero, 22, and Jaso, 28, one wonders if Olivo's playing time could be at risk as we get further into the season.

Coming off two down seasons, Kyle Lohse (RHP, STL) had a career year in 2011 with 14 wins and a 3.39 ERA. He started this season off on the right note by silencing the Marlins in the debut of their new ballpark. For all the recent success, Lohse's pitching history is littered with injury and inconsistency.
