Does Carlos Quentin qualify as a rookie?

Question

I know he played last season, but dont you have to have under a certain number of pro at-bats to be considered a rookie? I know he had under 400 ABs last season, so where does that put him?

Answer 1

No. His rookie eligibility expired in 2006. He had 166 AB that year, and exceeding 130 career major league at-bats ends rookie status with that season.

Answer 2

Not a rookie. Look here:
