Don’t about that. Alonso hit 53 in 2019 and Freeman still took it home.

I think name recognition had something to do with that. Alonso was just a rookie and nobody gave a **** about him.

If Olson wins 2/3 of the triple crown like he currently leads for, it will be hard not to give him a SS.

Depends on what they look at. As good as Olson has been, FF has been superior in every advanced stat

As I’ve been saying for two years, Matt Olson needs to hit more doubles

They also love the guy hitting .330 that everyone thinks is the nicest guy in baseball.

Bu if Olson hits 55 homers and 140 RBI, you’re probably right.

People also know who the best first baseman in the league is and that's Freeman. He's much smoother defensively and much more consistent at the plate. It really breaks down to 1/3 with a 3-run bomb with 2 Ks vs. 2/3 with 2 doubles and 3 RBI. You can't go wrong either way but the SS goes to the better hitter that's FF.
