Looks like the kid is the real deal
Comment -
Hes only pitched two games. I'd like to see him in a few more against more competitive teams.Comment -
I don't think it's fair to give him the title just yet. I think Heyward in Atlanta might have something to say about that.Comment -
Mike Leake is having an amazing year as well.Comment -
so far he's priced like ROY materialComment -
I think it's to early to have him as the favorite to win ROY. You got Heyward in Atlanta who's playing really well, Mike Leake in Cincy pitching very well also. Lets wait till August before you can pick a front runner. He has pitched two good games to start but it's a long baseball season.Comment -
I know one thing, I'm just going to keep betting on him every five days until he loses.Comment -
i dont see how he can be favored after only 2 starts, but washington was smart to schedule his 1st 2 games against bad teams to get him off to a good startComment -
David Freese on the Cardinals is having a good rookie year.Comment -
A little early, but I will tell you what, the kid throws some stuff!Comment -
he is a shoo-in for the award barring injury or collapse...Leake was 5-0 with around a 2.50 era at one point - if Strasberg gets to that record ESPN will start talking cy young lol...not saying he doesn't deserve it, but with all the attention he gets he has a huge advantageComment -
We still don't know how he handles himself in shutdown situations. And we know Heyward can hit in clutch situations. Nonetheless, will he even be eligible for the award? Stan Kasten has suggested he won't finish out the season.Comment -
Isn't he at a disadvantage because he missed the first two months of the season?Comment -
It could be an interesting race for NL ROY with Heyward, Leake, and Strasburg potentially all being in contention.Comment -
As of today, Heyward is still the favorite.Comment -
If Strasburg keeps up what he is doing and keeps getting these Wins he has a real shot but Heyward is on pace for some gaudy stats.Comment -
Very deep rookie class so far this year. Favorite right now should be Heyward.Comment -
Strasburg will do well, but not win rookie of the year.Comment -
Heyward is the favorite.Comment -
Gotta disagree with you fellas on this one. I don't have the exact numbers, but the J-Hey kid is hitting something like .187ish in his last 20 games, and seems like striking out in half of his at bats over that stretch, including 5 strikeouts against the Dodgers. Now don't get me wrong, I love that fukking kid (no homo), but as of now, I don't consider him the favorite.
Although I gotta add the kids got the baseball insticts you just can't coach. Great example of this was last night when he rounded third and just kept running through the stop sign while the Royals 2B wasn't really paying attention/slightly hurt. Without that run, odds are we would have lost.Comment -
I think they might shut down Strasburg at the end of the year if they don't have a chance to make the playoffs. So he might not even have 20 starts this year.Comment -
I think Stras will get it and Heyward will get shafted
like when Nomo got it ahead of Chipper back in the day
I'm not comparing Strassburg to Nomo though...Comment -
Brennan Boesch FTW.Comment -
Strassburg will get it with all the hype and everything.Comment -
where are these odds you speak of?
Comment -
I would have to say that he is on pace for that. Hayward is starting to struggle with the Braves!Comment -
Give him more than 3 starts before we put him in the discussion.Comment -
Yeah some more starts then we can make a decision. It looks good thoComment -
I think he got it.Comment -
Jaime Garcia for the Cardinals is having a great rookie season so far. in 13 starts, he is 6-3 with a 1.59 ERA.Comment
