Casey McGehee Wins NL Rookie for September

This season Casey McGehee of the Brewers had a good rookie season. He became the starting third basemen for the Brewers beating out Bill Hall who was eventually released. McGehee quietly put together a good rookie season which ended with him winning National League Rookie of the Month Award for September
Casey McGehee had a very good rookie season even though he won't have a chance to win rookie of the year with Chris Coghlan, Pablo Sandoval, and Happ in front of him.

Many people don't realize that Casey McGehee was a Chicago Cub. He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 10th round of the 2003 Major League Baseball Draft out of Fresno State. He spent many years in the minor league system for the Cubs. He was a September call-up for the Cubs in 2008. He made his major league debut on September 2 as a Cub. Following the 2008 season, he was claimed off waivers by the Brewers, and added to the Brewers' 40-man roster. Now he has had a nice season and possibly the beginning of a nice career and the Cubs let him go for nothing.
