Freddie got 28 first place votes. Mookie got the other 2.

In the words of the great Stevie Nicks: "Landslide!"

He had a very good year. He was our best late-inning hitter.

No doubt, but he was not even close to a top 10 NL player. MAYBE top 25

Eh, I think you're looking at his BA too much. I can't count how many games he won for us, w/his bat or some insane play in the field. He's a glue guy. And a future GG'er at short IMO.

I get giddy thinking that our entire IF could conceivably win a GG(multiple) at their positions. Freddie already has one.

Freeman
Betts
Tatis
Machado
Soto
Bauer
Ozuna
DeGrom
Trea Turner
Corey Seager
Yastrzemski
Fried
Darvish
Trevor Story
Hyun-Jin-Ryu

Dansby had an awesome year, but there are 15 players above who were undoubtedly more valuable for his team than him this year and 30 more you can make a case for.

I actually left him off because he was injured so much and almost all of his damage came from the first 5 innings.

ETA: I’m also probably letting his playoff performance influence me

He was hurt. So he gets a mulligan, much like Freddie last year.

Is that confirmed? Most ppp in here thought he was getting surgery right after the season, but I haven't heard anything about it? Are we positive he wasn't just slumping?

Swanson has been a good late inning hitter for awhile now and steps up in the playoffs.

Happy for Freeman. He earned it this year.

We signed Drew Smyly to a 1yr/$11m deal.

That means we're not bringing Greene back.

One year deal. I don't hate it. Hopefully we can get some innings from him.

Good signing imo. Peripherals were off the charts last year and velo was way up.

Soroka
Fried
Anderson
Smyly
Wright

Probably what we roll with.

Braves must really believe in the velocity uptick. If it’s real he could also be extremely valuable as an impact swing guy. Really good arm to have for the playoffs who can give you 5-6 as a starter if you need that or 1 or 2 dominant innings from the left side.

If the velo is real his floor looks like a Pomeranz type.
