Josh Donaldson Wins Hank Aaron Award

[Governator]

They are since they are a part of OBP, but Trout's OBP remains higher without the IBB. Let alone he plays in a pitchers paradise. Trout was clearly the better offensive player.

 

 

wRC+ uses wOBA for the formula which subtracts IBB from the on base total...

 

 

 

wOBA = (0.690×uBB + 0.722×HBP + 0.888×1B + 1.271×2B + 1.616×3B +

2.101×HR) / (AB + BB – IBB + SF + HBP)

well earned

[firsttimecaller]

f*** the racist scum Hank Aaron. Ban the award.

 

 

I agree. Aaron's a race hustler.

Sure Trout should have won it but glad JD won it in the end lol

TBH, we might as well just make one thread called "Josh Donaldson wins every award that he is eligible for"

[Boxcar]

Won't win Gold Glove.

[G-Snarls]

Won't win Gold Glove.

 

Machado?

[Boxcar]

Machado?

 

You never know with the GGs but I'd say Beltre or Machado. I think some coaching bias will creep in, but I did not realize how good JD actually was on defense this year, wow.

[Sammy225]

Machado?

 

Likely

Donaldson was worth 70M (Based on Fangraphs numbers) this season and we paid him 4.3M. LMAO.

 

(But NOW he gonna get PAID)

Well not yet really, even if his arbitration raise is substantial, it still won't be anything near his market value.

True. It's all relative. He will probably equal or beat the arbitration records set by David Price the last couple years.

 

Unless, of course, Shapiro locks him up long term. Is that very much against his usual MO though??
