November 13, 201510 yr Have talked to a few people who think Votto very well may win it. Their logic: None of the finalists teams were worth a darn, so the whole played for a winning team argument holds no water. Also, and most importantly, many in the baseball world can't stand Bryce Harper. Not sure I agree with it, but it's an interesting perspective on it. You're right that none of the three played on a team that was worth a damn. I think Votto has a very good chance of finishing 2nd (ahead of Goldschmidt). As good as Votto was, Harper was better. It may be that people vote against Harper, but I think he wins. Bryce Harper: .330 AVG, .460 OBP, 42 HR, 99 RBI & 118 RBI. That's tough to beat, even if you are a jerk.
November 15, 201510 yr The good thing with Votto, the majority of his game won't age with him. He is a contact guy who has a great eye. His obp will be pretty good still when the contract is at the end of its life.
