Novice? Newcomer? Rookie? Yeah, he's all that -- but he's a player.

Layton Taylor of the Boston Terriers certainly showed that this month with a fine 1-0 won-lost record and impressive 0.96 ERA. For his superb performance Taylor was named the American Baseball League Rookie of the Month.

In August he started 0 games, tossed 18.2 innings, gave up 18 base hits, struck out 15 and walked 8. Opposing hitters combined for a .243 average against him.

In 0 starts this season, Taylor has fashioned a 4-7 record and a 2.72 ERA.
