Castro for ROY???????

[USCChiFan]

WAR does, and yep, Posey is beating Castro in that area, too (1.9 to 1.5) in almost 30% less PT/fewer PA's. Account for that difference, and Posey has contributed to his team almost double what Castro has to his. Any other straws you want to grasp at?

I wasn't defending Castro, I was just stating a fact. And does .4 of WAR really make a difference. One thing that Posey has against Castro: He has a .404 wOBA against Castro's .323 wOBA

You're missing the point here. The big thing is that Posey is beating Castro in WAR despite 1) playing a majority of his games at 1B and 2) doing it in 30% fewer PA's than Castro has. And as I illustrated in my previous post, accounting for that discrepancy moves Posey's contributions well ahead of Castro's

Now I see...
I agree. But one thing I don't see him maintaining is his power. He never showed legit power in the minors. He'll end up hitting 20 something HRs and then end up like Joe Mauer w/ maybe 10-12 HRs in a season

LOL reading the beginning of the thread made me laugh.

I wasn't aware HR distance factored into ROY voting (Heyward)

Colvin has match Heyward in almost equal at-bats.

Castro is gonna hit .300 hit ~10 HR and not really drive in a ton of runs, so I'm not sure about him....

IDK how the heck you can take away the ROY from Mike Leake if he goes 15-1 like he's on pace to go....That would be a sin.

 

[Jntg4]

Because he isn't a "big name" like Strasburg, lol.

wow this thread is still going....nice!

I wasn't aware we added a new member with poor reading comprehension skills.

And Garcia>>>>>>>Leake

Also, Leake is on pace to go 11-3, not 15-1. He's already lost more than a game, smart one.

1. I'm not new. In fact, I've been at CCS longer than you have. I'm one of the 5 original members recruited by Rush.

2. I wasn't aware of Leake's loss this week. The average starter makes 35-40 starts in a year. Leake has made 19 this season. If you really wanna "project" his numbers, he goes 14.5 Wins and 2.9ish losses. You were off by more wins than I was losses, so take a seat.

I won't argue with you about Garcia, though. That kid has some stuff. I've already offered my expiring fantasy contracts (Manny, Nyjer Morgan, Silva, and Pelfrey) for three seasons of Garcia.

 

[waldo7239117]

This is my order right now:

Buster Posey (but still doesn't have the at-bats but will)
Steven Strasburg
Jason Heyward
Jaime Garcia
Starlin Castro

The average starter makes 35-40 starts a year? WTF? No one has started 40 games in a long time. The league leader is the only one to start 35 games. In other words, you're very, very, very, VERY off on that the average starter makes 35-40 starts. I also don't know where you get your on-pace numbers from,. but ESPN has his on pace record at 11-3, so fail. Are you stoned?

Well that's my list because the other 4 are getting way more attention as they are more popular.

^and better players

Buster Posey (but still doesn't have the at-bats but will)
Steven Strasburg
Jason Heyward
Jaime Garcia
Starlin Castro

You left out Gaby Sanchez, Mike Leake and Jonny Vinters, all of whom are out-performing Castro.

 

[waldo7239117]

No to Leake...Castro is they guy making the Cubs win right now.

 

[Got teeth? Keith doesn't.]

No to Leake...Castro is they guy making the Cubs win right now.

Leake is definitely in front of Castro right now...

That's hard. I can't see it. Castro is more valueable than Leake is at least.
