Lets not forget about the OP, he did say you should be ridiculed...

Very likely.  Pirates have great pitching, just need bats and Griffin might already be the best in the org.

Calling it right now, Griffin NL ROY, McGonigle AL ROY.  The #1 and #2 ranked prospects.

I was going to say "To be fair, when is the last time the #1 and #2 ranked prospects won", then I decided to look into it and found it happened in 2023 with Gunnar and Corbin Caroll and 2018 with Shohei and Acuna

I didn't have to look it up, mate?

Either way, not really a bold prediction.

Its like saying you predict Shohei and Judge for MVP. 

A real bold prediction would be something like Bubba Chandler Cy Young

[RobinThicc]

Max Scherzer Cy Young

I missed this, there's all kinds of guys that can win. I'd of thought Imai would be higher than Okamoto, there's Murakami, Wetherholdt, McGonigle and Griffin, Mclean, Chandler, Benge, Tolle, Jensen, etc...  off the top of my head. Should be cool.

There's a lot of guys close this year now looking back at it. 😎

Here's one I have had in my head for a while.  Cal Raleigh hits less than 30 bombs this year.

[Governator]

- Scherzer sub 3.5 era, 140IP+
- Yesavage gets sent down by all star break.
- Okamoto puts up higher WAR than Bichette
- VLAD AL MVP

Davis Schneider puts up a Reed Johnson 2006-esque 4.4 win season.

 

OBP of .410+ for the season.

Clemender? Snideluke? I'm not sure this works as well as Frank Johnsonalanotto.
