@OfficiallyJace In 1999 Dante Bichette hit .298 with 34 home runs and 133 RBIs, so that's a great season then right? Until you see it's Coors field, only 100 WRC+, and he finished with -2.4 WAR due to one of the worst defensive seasons ever. The whole picture and advanced stats have to matter.
@premiercards_2@TLAOKings He objectively contributed more value to his team offensively. He was just as good of a hitter and was way more beneficial than Pete on the bases and they're both bad defensively
@bargerbomb34 In 1999 Dante Bichette hit 34 home runs and had 133 RBIs... He had -2.1 WAR that year.. The game isn't only played at the plate. And even still, did all those HRs and RBIs help the reds make the playoffs?
@bschaeffer12 I respect you for speaking out and for being the only one to vote Sal in his correct place. But your logic was really flawed in putting benge 3rd. He should've just been 2nd if your logic behind Wetherholt being 1st was because of WAR and WAR only basically.
@podoffame@baseball_ref Because it is. Not a rookie but in 1999 Dante Bichette hit 34 home runs and had 133 RBIs. Great season is what you would say. Except he had the 3rd worst defensive season since 1990 and had -2.1 WAR and did it all in coors field so he only had a 100 WRC+. Not good
@TimDaniel518 Yes someone who had less WAR than a Rookie reliever (Didier Fuentes) shouldn't win ROY. It's the same reason Pete Alonso shouldn't and won't win the AL MVP just because he had the most HRs and most RBIs, there's more to the award than just HRs and RBIs
@AutumnRhodess If she killed your kid or went into a school and killed kids, would you maintain the same energy? I don't think so. Zero sympathy, you say it's 1 in 1000, and by that logic then there should be thousands of moms who kill their kids per year. She also shows zero remorse, evil.
