    Glad it was unanimous, well deserved. Incredible season, despite the playoff dissapointment.

    Acuna's development in cutting his strikeouts is one of the most amazing improvements I've ever seen. Ronnie is the best offensive player in baseball.

    Before this year no player had a batting average higher than .310 in a 40-40 season. A-Rod hit .310 in 1998.

    Ronald demolished that by 27 points. That's almost the same amount A-Rod outhit Tony Womack in 1998.

    Well deserved. The scary part is if he gets back to his 2020/2021 fly ball rate of 40%+ he’s a 10 win player.

    Or when he steals 100 next season!

    *ducks*

    Edit: Congratulations to Ronald, of course. Well deserved. Thought it would be much closer, never expected unanimous selection.

    Not Plaschke per se, but I was surprised it was unanimous. Truly deserved in any case. Truly remarkable season.

    Acuna also joined Bonds as the only people in the 40/40 with over .400 OBP (Bonds had an ungodly .461 OBP)

    ANd of course is the only member of the 40/40 club to go over on one of them.

    NExt up ROnnie needs to lift some more balls and go for 50/50.

    Or just stop bothering with bulk SBs and hit 55 HRs where the real offensive value lies.

    Not just value but the SB arent worth the injury risk.
