JB and the AL ROY award

[notherhalo]

Gubi keeps mentioning his name for it, presumably 1 HR wont get it for you, but Igelsias has the same

 

Chris Archer?  hes at about 75 IP, will he get enough IP to earn it?

[jsnpritchett]

Wil Myers.

[Reveille1984]

Shuck's been worth about 0.3 WAR in 300 PA.  Calhoun has basically provided the same value as him in 1/10th the plate appearances.  

 

Wil Myers is likely the leading candidate.

[Second Base]

General rule of thumb, unless you're a foreign exchange, 26 year old 4th OF's don't win Rookie of the Year. 

[NrM]

Wil Myers is pretty much a lock

[shellback]

if this guy wins ROY, this award has as much credibility as the gold glove.

[Brent Maguire]

Unless Myers completely falls apart, he's got it in the bag. 

[The God of Runs]

Salmon? Trout? Yeah, JB Shuck definitely belongs

[fan_since79]

Myers' OPS is 200 points higher than Shuck's.

 

It's a no-brainer. Myers will win it.

[m0nkey]

Wil Myers gives barry bonds a run for his money when it comes to admiring home runs

[SoWhat]

Speaking of ROY, what ever happened to Chris Coghlan???

[fan_since79]

Coghlan is in rehab for a back injury. He should return to the Marlins lineup by the end of the month. Of course, he's the one who tore up his knee delivering a shaving cream pie to the face of a teammate after a walk-off hit several years ago. He's been trying to regain his ROY form ever since.

Speaking of ROY, what ever happened to Chris Coghlan???

He's been on the DL for the past two months. He's still with the Marlins. Last year spent most of the year in the minors.

[Blarg]

Salmon? Trout? Yeah, JB Shuck definitely belongs

 

If Bobby Crosby can be ROY why not Shuck?

[jshep]

I would be shocked if he won, but he'll get some votes, very possibly more than he really should

[stormngt]

Didn't Willits get some votes for ROY?

[Angel Oracle]

Wil Myers, followed by Archer and Iglesias

 

 

Shuck's OPS is only at .713 vs. Willits' .735 in 2007. 

Willits' 2007 season has it all over Shuck's 2013 season in SBs and BBs.   

Shuck has more XBHs comparatively (number of at bats/XBH being less).

Willits finished 5th in 2007 AL ROTY voting.

Both have questionable arms.

[stormngt]

Unless Myers completely falls apart, he's got it in the bag. 

Myers only has 155 ABs.  His numbers can dramatically decline quickly.  I don't think he is in the bag.  However, if he continues to put up the numbers he currently is then i would agree with you.

[Scott34]

It's like Gubi doesn't understand that Iglesias and Myers exist.

Is Archer a pitcher?

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Is Archer a pitcher?

Yes, he's a starter for Tampa Bay.

[rageous]

I would vote Calhoun over Shuck

[stormngt]

It's like Gubi doesn't understand that Iglesias and Myers exist.

 

In all fairness, all Gubi says is that Schuck is an ROY candidate.  In that case, I would agree with them.  Granted looking at the offensive players there are three with more impressive numbers:  Myers, Iglesia, and Lough of KC.    So I would say Schuck is a candidate.  Do I think he would win?  NO, but it would be fair to call him a candidate.

[VariousCrap]

You guys need to give Gubi a break.  Outside of Trout and Weaver, this team has nothing going for it.  He had to come up with something to bring a little positivity to broadcast.
