September 14, 201015 yr I say Stanton. Games: Gaby: 132 Stanton: 82 Logan: 43 OPS+: Gaby: 113 Stanton: 121 Logan: 140 OBP / SLG / OPS: Gaby: .346 / .461 / .808 Stanton: .317 / .529 / .846 Logan: .418 / .482 / .900 Rtot and Rdrs / year: Gaby: -6 and -1 Stanton: +11 and +12 Logan: -4 and -5 WAR: Gaby: 1.3 Stanton: 1.9 Logan: 1.1
September 14, 201015 yr Yeah I'd go Stanton as well. I wish we could've seen what kind of numbers he'd put up if he started the season with us. Same with Logan.
September 14, 201015 yr Stanton's raw HR power still doesnt pull past the season Gaby has had... Im gonna go with Gaby. Of course if Stanton was here earlier... it would've been him. But Im penalizing him for GP. And of course if that penalizes Stanton... sorry LoMo...
September 14, 201015 yr I voted Gaby as he has had a solid, consistent rookie year and exceeded my expectations. And there is also THAT clothesline...

But Im penalizing him for GP. And of course if that penalizes Stanton... sorry LoMo... I go Gaby only because he's been here all year. I'm with both of you. Maybe if Stanton and Logan had been here all year, I would have gone with one of them. Gaby has been here all season and has put up consistent production despite being a rookie.
September 14, 201015 yr I go Gaby only because he's been here all year. My thought as well. Logan shouldn't even be in the picture. He's done well, but the sampling size isn't there.

September 14, 201015 yr I really thought about giving it to Logan, but like most of you said he hasn't been here for the whole year. I certainly hope none of them have a sophomore slump nor does Cogz when he comes back next year. UGGZ needs a CONTRACT, fix the BP and SP, and we should have an awesome team next year.
September 14, 201015 yr 20 doubles and 20 homers in half a season gives Stanton the lead by a country mile ...Dont forget The Glove and arm in RF
September 14, 201015 yr 20 doubles and 20 homers in half a season gives Stanton the lead by a country mile ...Dont forget The Glove and arm in RF That's great and dandy, but Gaby has been here all year.
September 14, 201015 yr Author I voted for Stanton because I would take 82 games of good performance over 132 games of league average performance.
September 14, 201015 yr It's amazing that Stanton is basically on pace for a 4 WAR over a full season as a 20 year old. Is this guy going to be a 6-7 WAR player each year in a couple of years?
September 14, 201015 yr Whose opinion would you want up with a man on second and two outs to hear? Not Stanton watertown_kid@yahoo.com. Fixed that for you.

September 14, 201015 yr Who would you want up with a man on second and two outs? Not Stanton. 1.174 .OPS with 2 outs & RISP this year. baseballreference.com...splits...not difficult.
September 14, 201015 yr If I need a base runner, I trust Morrison. If I need a sac fly or home run, I trust Stanton. If I need an RBI with a RISP, I trust Sanchez. I'm not using stats here, this is just who I trust if we needed each of the following. As far as the rookie of the year, it's Sanchez simply because he's been consistently above average all year, while Stanton and Morrison just recently came onto the scene. Morrison and Stanton will in all likelihood have better seasons than Sanchez next year, but this year belongs to Gaby.

September 14, 201015 yr Totally Gaby for his consistency all year long but in a way, I'd love some sort of combined award. The impact that Gaby, Stanton, and LoMo have made on this ballclub is a bright spot in this year. And one that should have longstanding impact. Almost similar to the impact the energetic 2006 squad had as a whole, I love what seemingly lies ahead for this rookie trio of 2010. Gotta love that future!
September 14, 201015 yr Author I voted for Stanton because I would take 82 games of good performance over 132 games of league average performance. I don't get this. So lets say next year Gaby does what he's done this year over the first 132 games. Great. Then Stanton next year performs well in 82 games but drops off the fricken map and performs terribly for 50 games which gets him sent down. You still pick Stanton over Gaby? The thing is Stanton's 82 games + 50 games of a some AAA player would outperform Gaby's 132 games by 12 runs. Stanton has played so well and the gap in performance is so wide that it's Stanton even with Gaby's 50 game advantage.
