Alvy (Yoda) slumped but still:
Over last 7 games: 3 HRs, 10 RBIs, .290 Avg, .333 OB%
Over last 15 games: 5 HRs, 16 RBIs, .276 Avg, .382 OB%
Over last 30 games: 11 HRs, 31 RBIs, .283 Avg, .393 OB%
His slumps are better than Correa's good months.

Vlad. 1.6 317 13 49 .803 .274
Yordan 1.9 154 14 43 1.119 .338
A week ago
WAR. AB. HR. RBI. OPS BA

If Yordan doesn't win ROY it is a joke.

John Means is probably more of a threat than Vlad Jr. at this time.

I have said earlier, that there is no way the Baseball Illuminati was going to give the Astros the Major Awards trifecta. (JV, Bregman, and Alvarez) This article is an intentional entry point to make Yordan the sacrifical lamb. |

John Means is probably more of a threat than Vlad Jr. at this time. A 10-11 pticher with a 3.65 era? Over a guy who would project 160 rbi's in a full season? If he won, I know it's rigged. |

Well it's a 133 ERA+ over, what will be, 150 IP. He's also 9th in WAR for pitchers (which people may not like WAR but the sportswriters do use it some). Not to mention he was also and AS this year. I don't think he'll win, but I think he'll get some votes. They won't look at W-L or projections. |

Head to head, I am afraid he'd beat Yordan, just on his accumulative stats (39 HR's 97 rbi's). Yordan's stats prorated are still much better though. Vlad? Like I posted earlier has faded even more behind Alvarez this week. It will be larceny, if he loses it. |

Valuable as in future production, or valuable as in immediate impact for this year? Those are different things. Vlad probably has a little more value when you look at age, defense, and better performance in the minors. But Yordan has had the more valuable impactful season. |

With Trout out, Bregman's chances for MVP went up 100%. Like I have said ..... Still, the powers that be are not going to let the Astros sweep the major categories. Some one has to pay, and it will be either Yordan or Bregman. Count on it. Verlander is the only lock. |

My vote goes to Todd’s favorite player, ”Super” Jack Mayfield.

Yordan should be the unanimous ROY but it will be close. I think Verlander is a lock but Cole could get it. My guess is the no-hitter secured the award for Justin. |

Updated today, plus Mock Vote's other 4.
WAR. AB. HR. RBI. OPS BA
Vlad. 2.2 453 15 69 .785 .276
Yordan 3.9 298 27 77 1.103 .326
Lowe- 3.2 285 17 50 .871 .277
Arreaez- 1.9 309 3 26 .851 .343
JImenez- 1.4 453 30. 77 .832. .269
John Means. 11-11 3.54 era 116K's in 150 Inn. WHIP- 1.127
Vlad's press and hype made many overlook the other really good seasons these 5 had. So yes, looking at these stats, Vlad doesn't belong in the top 5 of voting.
One thing is for sure. Alvarez has this down locked tight. No one is even close to his season.

You can not argue with that Yordan to make himself more of an asset to the Astros, needs to learn to play 1B...I rather him be there than LF. I keep wondering why we haven't tried to make him a first baseman. If we deal Carlos, Bregman can move in as our regular SS and Yuli can go back to third base. We have to figure out a way to have him in the lineup in the NL park if we make the WS. |

Just seems off to have a young DH....if he can learn to play 1B, it would be beneficial to the Astros. |

When Yordan was brought up from RR, AJ said he was not brought up to DH and he was going to play. That has not happened. I realize we had a starting lineup that was hard to break into, but, there were more opportunities to play him defensively that were skipped. If we are to have him in the lineup in a NL park, he has to play defense and first base is a logical position for him with Yuli going to third and Bregman at SS. I don' t think we can count on Correa in the playoffs. IF he wakes up sore one morning, he will be out for a week. I have thought from the beginning that if the DH is to be used, it should be used in both leagues. I thought it was wrong to allow one league to adopt it and let the other one decide against it. |

The lack of playing Yordan on the field is a legitimate complaint against Hinch. What’s he played like two games in the outfield? At this rate, he’ll come off the bench if they made the World Series or else they have to bite the bullet on him chasing his tail in the outfield.
