NL Player of the Month - Choo?
I think he's a good candidate. Although Upton will get a lot of talk because of his HR's and Atlanta's record.
Choo
Hits - 1st in NL with 26
Doubles - tied for 10th with 6
OBP - 1st at .521
Average - 3rd at .366
OPS - tied for 3rd at 1.127
Runs - tied for 2nd with 17
They're not power numbers. But he's the reason the Reds offense is clicking.

Upton is 1st in SLG, 1st in OPS, and 1st in WAR.
Choo has been amazing, but Upton has been better.
Re: NL Player of the Month - Choo?
Offensively, you could argue that Choo had the best April in all of MLB. Unfortunately for him, those Harper and Upton guys play a pretty great corner OF to Choo's below average CF.
Should be 1) Upton 2) Harper 3) Choo. Solid company he's keeping, though.
Re: NL Player of the Month - Choo?
Not a chance. It'll be Upton and he'll run away with it. Right or wrong...it's what'll happen.
Re: NL Player of the Month - Choo?
We've still got over a week left guys! All 3 of the above mentioned are in contention.

Upton has been on the cover of SI Swimsuit for 2 years running. She's a lock.
