Who are your Rookies of the Year at this point?

[hive17]

NL: Seager or Diaz, right? "Rookie" in-status-only pitcher Junior Guerra as a dark-horse? Trevor Story won't be able to dine on the first few months the whole year, right?

AL: Fulmer by a lot, right? I don't think Mazara and Kepler bashing a bunch of HRs can top Fulmer's 3.7 WAR.

Thoughts?

Considering Story is leading the league in HR and top 5 in RBI, I think he is the NL leader with Seager/Diaz a coin flip for 2nd. Fulmer is solidly ahead in the AL and would probably even be including somewhere on many voters CY ballots.

Trevor Story won't be able to dine on the first few months the whole year, right?

Story is hitting .348 with 6 homers after the All-Star break. His batting average has climbed each month and his homers have been steady after his 10-homer first month.

He's leading the NL with 27 homers, is 5th with 71 rbi and has a .271 avg. He's a lock unless he colllapses and Seager goes on a tear.

Seager's having a great rookie season too, .303 and 17 homers, but only 46 rbi.

NL: Seager or Story
AL: Fulmer or Fulmer

Most compelling stats for the top NL candidates
Seager: .303 avg .875 OPS 65 Runs 4.5 fWAR
Story: 27 HR .915 OPS 66 Runs 3.1 rWAR

At the moment I'd probably go with Seager for the following reasons
1. Story plays in Colorado (50% of the time)
2. Story has 128 SO in 365 AB
3. Seager's 4.5 fWAR

However, the voters LOVE home runs and they love them far more than sabermetrics so I believe if the season ended right now Story would get the nod.

As for the AL, it's Michael Fulmer by a mile. I believe Mazara would be the runner-up.

any chance a tapering off by fulmer coupled with a big finish by naquin could get tyler into the al conversation ?

 

[gt2590]

Seager will probably stay more consistent and that'll win it...

 

[Brewer Andy]

Junior Guerra definitely deserves a mention at least. Zach Davies could as well. Not that either will win but solid seasons

Guerra's having an excellent season. Top 10 in ERA. He probably gets ignored in rookie talks because he's 31 years old.

If they keep it up I could see them getting some votes, however not any 1st or 2nd place votes as they will pretty much be reserved for Story & Seager.

 

[Brewer Andy]

Absolutely. Just thought they deserve mention (Davies' Panini stuff is actually selling well)

I'm sure he'll get some votes but doesn't really have a shot at ROY unless Seager & Story slump for the remainder of the season & Maeda picks it up a notch.

He's still having a very good season and I could see him finishing 3rd.

yeah i like Naquin as a dark horse in the AL...especially if Fulmer stumbles. I'd have to go with Story in the NL...usually the ROY isn't that big on the player being on a playoff bound team.

 

[gt2590]

Not gonna be Story now...

Story out so...Diaz, especially if he ends up high on the batting average leaders list. Plus he's a Cardinal!

This DL stint isn't going to hel Diaz.

 

[Super Mario]

Seager was going to win it before Diaz got hurt, and he's going to win it after.

Playing in LA will get him the award over Story.

 

[death2redemptions]

Seager has the NL ROY locked up now.
