    I would say yes up until this point, but it's still early.

    This sentence structure leaves much to be desired, but I think i got you're question.

    It's really too early to tell, he hasn't had a full season's worth of peaks and valleys. Right now he would seem to be our best player by some margin, but there is much left to be found out. Altuve would be the other option, but he too has yet to put together a full good season. Jason Castro was by far our best player last season, but he's been mediocre at best this year.

    If you include pitchers Dallas Keuchel is our best player, and I've become very confident in saying that.

    Going to be tough for George to pass up tanaka and abreu for rookie of the year.

    Especially if he keeps hitting 250, while K'ing a bunch.

    Springer's strikeout numbers are ridiculous, but he gets his fair share of walks.

    [rquoter]When people snark on baseball players for not being real athletes, that’s what they’re talking about. And if you’ve seen Ryan Howard run the bases, or watched Mark Reynolds struggle to operate a first baseman’s mitt the way your dad struggles to operate Windows 8, it’s hard not to see the point.[/rquoter]
    beauty. :cool:
