Watch out for Salvy who hit a home run in 5 straight games including 2 game tying or winning grand slams and he just broke the record for most home runs by a catcher in AL history.
Riley is another strong choice.
Yep I forgot about him, good choice
Riley or Salvy?
I’m thinking salvy now that you mention it

It could be worse. He's one of the active players that has a shot at the HOF someday.

Ehh he's the 3rd most likely out of active catchers, and catcher only has 19 hall of famers as it is. I don't think Salvy has much of a shot at all tbh

I get it, if he's taking the place of someone else. But I'm just saying, at least it's a worthy player. Even if he doesn't get POTM, he will have a monthly and deservedly so. This a a major accomplishment. Beat a team and a league record while winning a few games in dramatic come back fashion and he's very likeable.
Bryce Harper has a chance though he was better at the beginning of the month. Riley, Salvy, Cron, Cronenworth, Scherzer, Waino,
Sale might get some love for coming back, winning 3 games and pitching an immaculate inning. Marte had a solid month. Lots of good choices, but I'm guessing they will jump on the historical nature of Salvy's accomplishment.

Tyler Naquin

I’m going to say starling marte gets AL player of the month and the lightning card.
He has 19 stolen bases this month not caught once

Not a chance. He's having a great year, but his career as a hitter has been mediocre. He's never hit over 30 hrs (except this year) he's never had 100 rbis (except this year he probably will) and he's not really a .300 hitter. He has hit .300 twice, but both seasons weren't full seasons. He won't hit 400 hrs in his career, he won't get 3000 hits, and I would be curious to see how many, if any at all, of his all star appearances were because Noone else on the team made the cut.

He is also currently 10th in war of active catchers

I'm assuming the first 2 are Yadi and Buster?
No arguments here.
Salvy right now is not a HOFer. I agree he would need to add a handful of great years and perhaps some more accomplishments.
But he's 31, he has 7 All Star games, 5 gold gloves, a world championship and World series MVP. Again, it would require a really strong 4 or 5 years which a players early to mid 30s in that position aren't an ideal age for it. If this year turns out to be an outlier then you are right. But add a few more GGs and All Star games and 4 or 5 more great years, I think he's in. Just my opinion.

Maybe a few, but remember the few years where the entire Royals squad made the starting lineup? Maybe I'm overstating. I think he has a chance, that would require him to be the player he is this year for a while longer.
I love Yadi who has been a good not great hitter. He doesn't have 200 homers, won't get to 3,000 hits, maybe 2,200. He'll get in for his glove and decent bat. Again, salvy needs to be this player for a while longer, but I bet 5-6 years ago, a lot of people wouldn't have considered Yadi a HOFer.
Ok, I'll get off my soapbox. Perhaps I'm just on a Salvy high and next year he'll come back to earth and I'll completely eat my prediction.

I do remember that year. The KC fans really showed up lol. If He stays his whole career in kC then I think it helps his chance alot, the writers love [censored] like that.
-
Yadi has a couple of World Series wins, that’s a huge HOF booster. Posey, same thing multiple World Series and an mvp to boot. More important than stats are these categories for catchers.
I hope Salvy gets there. I do. He is the heart of that team

You're absolutely right. Salvy has the 1 ring and WS MVP as well as the AL championship the year prior, but Buster and Yadi are more decorated. I hope Salvy gets there too. I tend to be overly optimistic for my favorite players.
-
I know this might sound odd but to me Yadi is a lot more like an Ozzie Smith case to the HOF where great glove below average bat but plays for a winning franchise. Salvy really has been somewhat hurt by the fact the teams he played on just haven't been very good for years and years which gets him less attention. If they switched teams I think Salvy is just as strong of a case but I think Molina would lose recognition if he played for a worse team

No reason they don’t give him the lightning card unless they continue to hate on all things Rockies.
Cron has a higher average than votto or Schwarber or semien did. He has the highest ops of all with 1.245 and 10 homers. 4 of the ten on road. 13 road games this month and 11 home and he is still hitting .378
Except Austin Riley is having a better month in all those categories.
Riley has 5 homers. Ops of .981 and hit .368 so he actually didn’t have as good of an august as your thinking
