How many at bats can a rookie have before he's no longer considered a rookie the next year?

Update:

Gen. Stiggo, thanks for the answer. That was my main reason for the question!

    130. Daniel Murphy had 131, so this was his rookie year.

    I think it's like 130... but there is also an amount of time in the majors as well. If he's up with the club for a certain amount of time, even if the AB falls short, then he wouldn't be a rookie anymore either.

    A player's rookie status ends with the major league season in which he exceeds a career total of:

    a. 130 at-bats, or

    b. 50.0 innings pitched, or

    c. 45 days on the active, 25-man roster.
