NL Rookie of the Year Watch

[CJ9]

Horton pulled after only three innings tonight. Unclear right now if it’s injury related or just resting him for postseason. Gave up a lot of hard contact but continued his batted ball luck with only one run allowed.

 

[msstate7]

Horton gave up 1 run in 3 ip (6.15 FIP).

 

[Hudson2]

They took him out so he didn't give up anything else. Smart play by them but obvious.

 

[CJ9]

He’s going to end with 8 innings pitched over the last 18 days of the season.

They just announced it was back spasms.

 

[Hulavol]

They just announced it was back spasms.

This makes more sense …. Thanks

Suuuurrreee?

JK, but it certainly could be an excuse.

First person I've seen mention they are a NL Rookie of the Year voter - Keith Law. I actually think this is good news, he's pretty analytically driven.

Now it's time for us to get Coppy to offer him some money for a Baldwin vote.

I thought ROY voters were essentially beat writers from just cities in that league. 30 people vote with 2 from each city.

He does say in that atheltic article that he thinks the NL ROY is pretty obvious.

Coppy could offer that 2005 F150 he got to Drew Waters.

Good catch, I missed that. Worth noting - he wrote last year that he would've voted for Cowser over Gil for AL ROY. Some similarities between that and the Baldwin-Horton situation.

 

[Hudson2]

I think it's pretty obvious that Baldwin has had the better year while playing the hardest position

 

[Enscheff]

For the entire season vs 75% of the season.

 

[CJ9]

Also worth noting that Keith Law ranked Baldwin #27 and Horton #74 in his preseason top 100. And there's nothing Keith Law loves more than Keith Law, so he would love to prove he was right.

I've spent way too much time reading old things about the one of 30 NL ROY voters we know, but I would definitely guess that we know of one Baldwin first-place vote now.

 

[CJ9]

Horton's odds as the favorite dropped from -370 to -210 in the last 36 hours. Baldwin from +175 to +170.

 

[Nerfherders]

If I was a betting man I would be taking 170 all day long.

 

[Hudson2]

Baldwin gets 1 more homers and gets to 20 it's a rap
