JK. :)

Good one Dickie. Got me to click. May as well put one up to vote for whoever's going to be 2nd.

The only reason Aaron Judge will be ROY is because he spent the last three weeks of 2016 on the DL.

 

[TyWebb]

He's only going to win because he has more homers.

Well it will be more legit than when Ichiro was a rookie.

Since voters ordinarily name multiple people, voting for first, second and third at least (maybe more), let's pose this one. Who would get 2nd on your ballot?

 

[Dick Whitman]

Dude on Oakland. Olson?

 

[MTM]

Andrew Benintendi second and Trey Mancini third.

Did Bradley Zimmer play enough games for consideration?

 

[User 149557]

Zimmer would've been a good candidate for second place until mid-season, but he really fell off a cliff offensively the month before he hurt himself diving into first base. His defense remained stellar throughout, though.

Dude on Oakland. Olson?

Matt Olson did hit 24 home runs in only 59 games, but I don't think he played enough and the other numbers aren't that great. I think MTM had it right. Benintendi will probably be second, then Mancini.

You nailed it. Brilliant. Its was right in front of us all but we totally missed it. It’s like one of the posters that if you look really halfassed at it you see a sail boat.
