My vote goes to Neck!
FF will go on one of his insane runs and pull away.

Ill be pretty happy for either, but for some reason I’d like Nick the Stick to take it home.

I think Freeman takes. Man, we're so fortunate to have the opportunity to watch him night in and out.

Ramos for the win. Dude will never get out again.

Y'all are probably right!
Seems like light competition this year. I hope Freeman wins, it will bolster his hall of fame chances. With Markakis it will just up his price in free agency.

Looking at the improved numbers is it out of the realm of possibility Swanson will one day challenge for a batting title ?
Wondering what others think --
The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
Some lower numbers than years past. Justin Morneau his .314 or something in 2014.
Just no on Swanson winning a batting title.
Over the last 3 season, only 30 players have posted a .310 BA or higher (contenders for a batting title):
https://www.fangraphs.com/leadersspl...ms=30&sort=5,1
Only 3 of those players had a K% of 20% or more. The highest was 23.1% by JDM this season.
All of those seasons relied on BABIPs of .312 or higher, and most relied on BABIPs much higher than that.
Swanson has run a K rate of about 23%, and a BABIP a bit over .300.
Batting titles are pretty meaningless, but if you care about them, Swanson is a poor bet to win one.
Having the best average in your league is meaningless?
