Is Buster Posey the NL Rookie Of the Year??

[Big Mac McGwire]

The kid is having a hell of a season. I know Heyward has played more games and Colvin has more HR's. But posey is having big hits for playoff contending team. If they played the entire season his stats would be even better. Do you think he has a shot at ROY??

 

[jubei777]

I say its between him and heyward at this point.

 

[gonzagacubs]

no, but of course I am slightly biased.

 

[darocker80]

no, but of course I am slightly biased.

u can't choose colvin over stanton for HR alone

 

[Sweetness]

vote for posey!!!

heyward
.289/.404/.480 17hr 68rbi 29-2b 4-3b

posey
.321/.366/.504 13hr 59rbi 20-2b 2-3b


numbers wise, i'd go w/ posey. however, i think heyward is going to win it due to the fact that he has been up all year and received much more fanfare. posey is deserving but so was garret anderson in 1995 :evil:

cordova
.277/.352/.486 24hr 84rbi 27-2b 4-3b

anderson
.321/.352/.505 16hr 69rbi 19-2b 1-3b

If I was Marty I'd be happy to trade my ROY award for Garrett's career!

I thought that they already gave it to Strasburg

 

[Mighty Bombjack]

I would vote for Posey, but that .404 OBP that Heyward is flaunting is pretty impressive for a rookie (or anyone, for that matter).

 

[leatherman]

What have you done for me lately? Since August 1:

Posey - .273/.325/.448, 5 HRs, 25 RBIs, 17 runs, OPS .772
Heyward - .329/.447/.534, 6 HRs, 18 RBIs, 27 runs, OPS .981

 

[sportscardtheory]

Gaby Sanchez should at least be in the discussion.

 

[200lbhockeyplayer]

Gaby Sanchez should at least be in the discussion.

I think he'll be a top-5 guy for the NL ROY, but with Heyward, Posey and Garcia clearly ahead of him since he cooled off after the All-Star break, I think we're looking at a #4 or #5 depending on where the lunatics vote Strasburg because you know some are going to vote him in.

It's going to Heyward, higher everything except for BA....

 

[BowmanChromeAddict]

Starlin Castro is no slouch either. The rookie class in the NL is outstanding.

 

[Mighty Bombjack]

It's going to Heyward, higher everything except for BA....

And SLG

Yeah, but OPS goes to Heyward and his OBP is ridiculous!

Posey could win with the lower stats because he's been up for a shorter period of time and also because he plays catcher and has played excellent defense.

being up for a shorter amount of time does not help him at all


They won't look at the stats and consider that he did it in fewer games.

Also helps that voters tend to have short memories.
