Buster Posey - ROY???????

[schubert1970]

I notice Posey is getting a lot of national pub. If the Giants can win the division I think he'll be a lock for the award, especially if the Braves don't make the playoffs.

I agree, I think its a lock. Not only is he hitting great, he's catching one of the best pitching staffs in baseball. The giants surged in the second half with him as a full time catcher.

Agreed...he does seem to be pulling away in this race (Sorry, Starlin ).

As Joe Morgan says on every Sunday night baseball. Jason Heyward has a slight edge in the fact that he was up winning games and hitting walk offs while Posey was still in the minors. The playoffs will make a difference, but right now the Giants aren't really in any better shape than the Braves.

Are you kidding the Giants are in a much better position than the Braves. They are leading the division and tied for wild card. They have two shots to get in and the Braves have one. Plus the Braves have been falling. Posey plays a much more demanding position and is calling pitches. I wouldn't say Heyward is a stellar outfielder. Even with the east coast bias, Posey is your ROY!

Joe Morgan also says that Ryne Sandberg doesn't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame, and has voted against Ron Santo being there...his arrogance far exceeds his expertise.

Jason Heyward is an excellent defensive outfielder. Buster Posey is great and he probably deserves the ROY, but in the end I think the hype surrounding Heyward and the extra time in the bigs will make a big difference. Especially when looking at the fact he made the All Star team. As for the Giants playoff push they do have two chances to get in, you are right, but it really just comes down to who wins the most out of the last 10 games. The Braves only have 3 games against teams with a winning record where as the Giants have 6.

And the Braves are getting it handed to them by the mighty Nats. Big slump and Heward has done zippo.

You don't have to convince me I am a Braves fan and I know they suck. I am not a voter for ROY I am just stating my opinions. Heyward since August 20th has raised his batting average 30 points. I think that is pretty significant. I would rather see Posey get it so I can get some Heyward items when the hype dies down.
