@Acyn This is so beyond embarrassing. When trump is gone, ALL of these people will be tripping over each other to see who can distance themselves from him the fastest.
@DaddyFungo@WhoDeyCasen@LanceMcAlister I'm sure Mark McGwire would have had less RBI if he hit leadoff too. Is that the game we are playing? JJ hits leadoff and somehow has less SB than sal. Got an excuse for that one.
The race for NL Rookie of the Year:
Per DraftKings, Cardinals 2B JJ Wetherholt remains the betting favorite at -165 odds. Sal Stewart is the only other player within shouting distance at +280.
Season comparison:
Wetherholt:
.259-.353-.403-.755, OPS+ 114, WAR 4.2
10 doubles, 15 HR, 40 RBI, 10 SB
Defensive runs saved: +13 (2nd NL 32B)
Stewart: .249-.327-.472-.799, OPS+ 124, WAR 1.3
23 doubles, 21 HR, 74 RBI, 11 SB
Defensive runs saved: 0 3B, -2 1B, -1 2B

@JoeFromCinci@bryce_spalding If he gets 35 hr and 110 RBI he'll run away with it this year. Weatherholt might actually finish with less than half those RBI. Hard to justify if that happens.
Sal Stewart sits at 74 RBI on July 22nd. 2 RBI off the MLB leader.
The fact he elevates his game so much with RISP speaks so much to him, and his mentality.
Bases Empty - .807 OPS
Men on Base - .780 OPS
Runners in Scoring Position - .938 OPS
Such a good young hitter. Extend him. #Reds
@FiresideYankees Reds fan. Stephenson's value has been realized with the advent of the challenge. There is no one better at challenging called balls. He's nearly automatic. He's the best in the game. He's also been surprisingly clutch with some timely hits in his career.
Tyler Stephenson could be an alternative option for the Yankees if they do not land Ryan Jeffers, per Will Sammon & Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
Stephenson has a .712 OPS this season with 8 HRs in 72 games for the Cincinnati Reds.
