FF will go on one of his insane runs and pull away.
I'm thinking Freeman as it would bolster his MVP chances with some writers.

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.

Triple crown. Might even win the Cy Young.

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.

But if Markakis wins that means we’re probably going to the playoffs, because that’ll mean he’s still raking and not plummeting back to Earth. We know Freeman will be right there anyway barring injury.
Yes. Swanson strikes out too much.

No, he will likely become the GOAT.

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):

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?
In terms of offensive production it is.
