Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 So much to enjoy. A young team. Mostly home-grown. No hitter. Cy Young candidate. And MVP candidate who is putting his career back on a Hall-of-Fame track.Both of them dudes, too.Throw in some outside hope for Rookie of the Year and Comebacker of the Year.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 He'll certainly be in the mix if things continue as they are.Coincidentally, Joel Sherman in the Post did his mid-season awards column today.He had NL MVP as Votto - McCutcheon - Wright, then Beltran and Melky Cabrera, which is always arguable but seems fairly logical to me.For CY he had Dickey ahead of Strasburg, Greinke, Cain, and CuetoFor ROY he put Nieuwenhuis 4th behind Harper, AZ pitcher Wade Miley, and the recently called-up Atlanta SS Andrelton SimmonsAnd then he even placed Terry 2nd for MoY behind Davey and ahead of Clint Hurdle
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 That's better than I would expect from Sherman, who usually wouldn't say anything nice about a Met unless you held a gun to his head.Later

Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 That's true. It's not something I tend to get too deep in rooting for, as I don't really get what we're judging.
