Judge will still squeak in with ROY and MVP Im pretty sure. East coast media loves the kid even for his failings.

Schoop is rightly a dark horse because other players frankly get more media coverage, are more veteran names like Nelson Cruz, for instance.Judge plays in the media capital of the world and MLB loves to support and promote American players with multi cultural backgrounds. Judge is their man.

He could also get hot again.

Mancini is a fabulous young player who will get better..he reminds me of a young Curt Blefary in 1965 (ROY0 but he seems more disciplined and a better all around athlete with a ton of smarts..He could end up being a mainstay player in the AL for years to come if he stays healthy..But he is not the ROY this year.Aaron Judge will be,

Top 5 position players in the AL according to bb-ref overall WAR:

Altuve (7.1)

Simmons (6.3)

Judge (5.5)

Trout (5.4)

Betts (4.9)

Schoop is 8th on the list at 4.5............just after J. Upton and C. Correa.   Still pretty cool.

I don't see Mr. Miami on that list.

There's really nothing parochial about thinking that a guy hitting .280/.412/.581 with 37 HR and 82 RBI is the odds-on favorite for Rookie of the Year.   As an Orioles' fan, I'm thrilled that he's fallen off the table the last 43 games or so, but his overall body of work is still pretty darned good, and remember, the hype mostly built up during the 3+ months that he was dominating the league.     Can't blame anyone for that.

The parochialism is what makes him a 100% lock. If he played for any other team, there would be a discussion, at least.

There may be a discussion if Judge continues to OPS under .700 in September.   I'll worry about it when it happens.    They don't hand out the awards in late August.   If the season ended today, Judge easily would deserve ROY.

If Benintendi is above average he must have great range, because his outfield arm is one of the worst I've seen in awhile.  It's like the equivalent of watching a 40-year old Peyton Manning throw wounded ducks, just with half the accuracy.

I thought the same thing watching the weekend series in Fenway.  His throws were so far off line, I remember thinking that I hope they keep him in center field FOREVER!

I think it comes down to Altuve and Trout. If Trout ends on a hot streak in September, he picks up his third MVP.

It begs the question, what is a "hot streak" for a player who's sporting a 1.098 OPS?

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
