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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
