    Not really sure how Strasburg won over Mike Leake.

    Anyway, great job, Jay!

    Because Strasburg was better.

    Leake - .295/.306/.443 with 1 walk and 20 strikeouts.
    Strasburg - .277/.333/.426 with 3 walks and 13 strikeouts.

    Is one of those lines really better than the other?

    Leake had 16 more plate appearances and more RC. I think Tony LaRussa is behind an underground movement to deny all recognition for Reds pitchers. Only explanation.

    Hardly - Leake also scored 8 runs to Strasburg's 4, had 18 hits to Strasburg's 13, and Leake hit 2 homers to Strasburg's 1. Strasburg did have more RBIs than Leake, 7 to 3.

    If this is a hitting award, Leake is the better hitter. Higher average, more hits, OBP and he hit more home runs.

    I will buy that he had more plate appearances, thus could have been of more value. But when looking at just the two lines, one is certainly stronger than the other.

    Did Beltran not qualify as a RF? He was significantly better in the box than Bruce.
    Stick to your guns.

    Leake had a higher average. Strasburg had the higher OPS.

    Strasburg had a stronger triple slash. By a decent margin.

    You're right - I wrote OPS when I meant SLG, not sure why.

    I'll still take Leake as a hitter over Strasburg any day.

    Strasburg's .759 vs. Leake's .749 is a marginal margin. It's less than an extra walk.
