The Marlins could win the wild card so his HRs aren't pointless but I think that there are so many this year it's not that crazy. Lindor hit his 24th today
Miami still in it and the way Rockies and DBacks have been playing lately they are not locks.
Trade this man, Jeter. Trade him.
Jeter's not in a position of power to do anything. Plus I doubt Stanton will ever be traded because of the salary someone's going to have to eat or pay in a trade and because he's a draw for whatever 25 fans are still going to Marlins games.
I'm just interested to see if Stanton can keep up a decent HR pace to maybe close in or set the new single season HR record.
Top 3 nl candidates: goldy, Stanton and Arenado. Stanton's surge certainly puts him to the top given how the rocks and D-backs have stumbled. Should be a good vote, still have a month to go!
Paul Goldschmidt is finally on a contending team, giving him the chance to finally finish 1st in MVP voting......but it has to be the year where someone on a non-contending (still an outside possibility) team does something so amazing that makes him worthy of winning the MVP...
And his name is Giancarlo Stanton. Your 2017 NL MVP
It's certainly a close race. Goldschmidt is the best all-around player among the three but hey, Stanton has 50 HR. In no particular order:
Goldschmidt - .316 avg 31 HR 104 RBI 1.021 OPS 17 SB (5.4 fWAR 155 wRC+ .421 wOBA)
Stanton - .296 avg 50 HR 108 RBI 1.059 OPS 2 SB (5.4 fWAR 167 wRC+ .425 wOBA)
Arenado - .308 avg 29 HR 108 RBI .951 OPS 3 SB (4.5 fWAR 124 wRC+ .392 wOBA)
Speed & contact goes to Goldy, Arenado wins defense & Stanton has power locked up.
*I made sure to include some sabermetrics for my fellow advanced metric friend [MENTION=11981]WCTYSON[/MENTION]
Charlie Blackman has to figure in this also, league leading .336, 30 fingers and 80 RBI from the lead off no over 100 runs.
