April 15, 2025Apr 15 Doubtful. He's not the kind of player who normally wins ROY. Too early anyway. If he has good stats at the end of the season we'll see if he's a contender.
April 15, 2025Apr 15 I would love to see that happen...however, love Paul Skenes but if these awards are a popularity contest...people like Jackson Merrill (who had a helluva rookie season) finish behind the beauty queen. Is Chase a beauty queen or a very solid ballplayer? I know those questions aren't answered yet...but I think it would take an INCREDIBLE year for him to win that award.

Last year's ROY went to Luis Gil and his pretty pedestrian 3.0 bWAR. If the AL has a bunch of above-average players, and Meidroth somehow breaks through with a 5.5 bWAR season, yeah, I could see him getting votes, but if a guy like Shane Smith dominates (or some top rated prospect), he could put that up and win going away.

I think if he plays 140 games and hits the 300/370/440 it would take to put up 5.5 bWAR you can hand him the trophy. But if we're in fantasy land, lets go for 330/400/500 and 8 bWAR. That would really seal it.

Well, a string on April 15 about a minor leaguer who has played 3 games winning ROY is fanciful, in itself. My comment was not that Meidroth is Superman, but that he would have to play great defense and maintain for most of the year in a fallow year for prospects in order to get close. 2025 looks like the Red Sox and Yankees are rolling out their top prospects, and the year is too long for a glorified Nick Madrigal to BB his way to an award.
April 15, 2025Apr 15 Get him at 100/125 to 1 while you still can. It will at least make the summer interesting.
April 15, 2025Apr 15 Yes, but we don't even know if he can hit at the MLB level yet. Play him everyday and let's find out.
April 16, 2025Apr 16 Doubt it. He isn't going to have the counting stats that matter (i.e. HR's, RBI's)
April 16, 2025Apr 16 Author Dominguez having a big game tonight. Yankees and Red Sox always have that built-in media advantage to start off with...the only way to win in the face of that is to have overwhelming numbers.
