Gurriel over Devers.

The rest look good.

Olson and Gurriel would be a toss up

Olson 2nd OPS among AL 1B
Gurriel 3rd

Olson 4th average
Gurriel 2nd


Olson 2nd home runs
Gurriel 7th

Both tied 3rd in RBI


Olson 2nd runs
Gurriel 8th

Olson 5th hits
Gurriel 2nd

Tied for 5th in walks

Olson 4th OBP
Gurriel 2nd

Olson 2nd in slugging
Gurriel 4th



So they are close across the board and either would be fitting behind Vlad, they will both make it unless Mancini slips in as an O's player (assuming Mullins/Means don't make it)

We all know Trout is awesome when healthy, but... no. He's probably out until the All-Star break.

Picking him over guys having awesome years like Michael Brantley, Adolis Garcia, Mitch Haniger, Austin Meadows are more... nah. That's dumb.

Give me Arenado over Bryant. His defense has been unreal. Even more so than usual.

Trout would be back before the All-Star and have about 2 weeks more of game play (assuming news on calf stays positives with no set backs) and he has 2 WAR. Garcia has played 20 more games and is only worth 0.5 WAR more.

If we going to include Brantley then Trout should be included since Brantley has only played 9 more games due to his own injuries.

Meadows, just nah, I'm not the biggest BA guy but .233 doesn't scream All-Star...


If I was to pick someone not named Trout I may go with Canha, Tucker, Hernandez, or Haniger

Trout's best-case scenario for the 6-8 week recovery time has him back a few weeks before the All-Star game... Garcia, Brantley, etc. will have several weeks between now and the best case scenario.

And the Angels suck, so they won't rush him back ahead of time.


I expect that Trout gets voted in because of his name, but he shouldn't.

Judge has the highest OPS among eligible AL outfielders... he's deserving.


ETA: He's behind JD Martinez, but he's on the ballot for DH.

Judge has played in 61 games ( out of 65) and is batting .289/.388/.532 with 15 home runs and a 2 WAR. Are you really going to try to argue he is not deserving?

Not a single Cardinal, that’s for sure. They all suck.

I mean, Bryant is dog shite at 3rd, but Nado has regressed defensively compared to his years in Colorado

Give me Riley instead of Bryant... he has similar offensive numbers, and is a massive upgrade defensively.

Riley should definitely be in the 3B consideration. Ozzie has a shot too
