2018 Award Voting

OPS+ accounts for park factors.

Voodoo had a 177 OPS+.
O'Hearn 154.
Owens 169.

I would agree O'Hearn is the most well-rounded player. I disagree with your assertion that it makes him the best.

To suggest that I must be smoking grass to think the league leader in OPS and WAR is the best player in the league is in itself crazy.

I'm not going to argue this. I've made cases using stats in the past during award voting, to no avail.

If you want to vote against 40+ HR, 25 2B, 20 SB, +10~ ZR and 10 outfield assists, be my guest.

LOL at me for wanting to have a modern day Polo Grounds. I think the original version was like 298 to the right field pole.

You mean Baltimore?

I was wondering where that knife in my back came from.

Voodoo Davila probably earned DL Stout Slugger this year, all due respect to Jamie O'Hearn, Dylan Owens, and others.

Best OPS by a wide margin, including the top OBP mark. Tops in runs created per 27 and wins above replacement (WAR) by a meaningful amount, too.

And of course, he's a catcher, which makes the offensive performance even more valuable.

He somehow improved on his 2017 season.

Absolutely... on all accounts!

CJ Baase? Guy went 16-5 with a 2.28 ERA for a team that might win 100 games!

Not to mentionMike Morla (4.9 WAR and solid counting stats)... Clearly not the winner this year, but with numbers that would be a clear favourite in many other years.

I knew you'd respond with a nice "haha, shut the hell up."

Do I win an award for most salary injured for the season? I wonder what the most has ever been.

This might be the only year I have a better record than the Dino's! It was tough being in your division.

Okay maybe a few votes to Baase. Owens had a 6.5 WAR to Baase's 5.5.

Remember Baase sat out an entire season also. He's basically A-Rod but better.

It's a pretty amazing crop of New Brew candidates in the DL this year.

The IL isn't too shabby either.

Two words for you: drug test!

Nope, it's good as well. The 2016 draft class was very strong.
