Upon further review I think naquin is having the best month but we already have a reds lightning player. Salvy is deserving of all the love but his month is only .265 with 11. His stats are not quiet up to the level that Cron or Naquin are

MARTE!

I wouldn’t care for another first baseman though. Especially not a right handed slow 1st baseman at that
-
It all depends on what criteria they want to use.
Among batters Based on WAR the top three are
Harper
Judge
NaquinBased on Batting Avg
Naquin
Bryan De La Cruz
CronRBIs
Cron
Perez
PolancoUnless they decide to go for a pitcher I would say there are multiple valid choices they could make without hating on a team. I would that say Naquin is in the lead.
On the Pitching front Adam Wainwright has the best WAR for pitchers in the month of August. He has to be in the mix somewhere

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
Since the All Star break the only player with more homers and RBI’s than Riley is Votto. He leads the league in batting average since the All Star break with a .358 ba. ops .1135. Sorry bud just because Cron has hit a bunch homers at Coors field doesn’t mean he’s had the best month. Also, Riley is a superior defender to Cron. Riley is probably considered a top 5 MVP candidate at this point in the season and I would say he is probably more like top 2 trailing only Tatis mainly due to the fact that he is not as flamboyant as Tatis not because he has been outperformed. Riley has a much better body of work over the month than any player in the NL during the month. And he plays a much more demanding defensive position. Not saying Cron hasn’t been good. But POTM is not a one dimensional offensive award. It requires you to be good on both sides of the ball. And quite frankly Cron doesn’t stack up the same defensively at a less premium defensive position.

It's crazy to think that the Jays had 3 players of the week in August and likely won't have a card in the program unless they do give Springer one of the lower 94-95 for his 2 weeks of crazy essay
Overall I would love to see Marte get it follow by Naquinn Corn
Now that I write this Robby Ray could get a card for August as he's been lights out

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
Yadi’s stats are more fringe HOF than most people realize. He’s actually not as good defensively as many think. He’s a great catch and throw catcher and manages the pitching staff as good as anybody ever has but the rest of his defensive metrics are average to below average when compared to his counterparts. He trails players like Posey and Salvy in many of those defensive metrics. He is a below average hitter and is not very good in the playoffs. He is a product of the team he has played for. And does not rank highly amongst actual HOF catchers. I’m not saying that he isn’t HOF material but it’s much murkier than most people think.

Wainwright has to have a card in here somewhere. Not the "ultimate" card, but a card nonetheless. 5 wins, 1.43 ERA, etc.
I'm sure I can get a "like" from @Dolenz_PSN , @eatyum_PSN ...

As I mention a few posts up Wainwright has the best WAR among all starters in Aug. So yeah, you can get a like from me.

Riley got one last month so won’t again I’d bet
The lightning card goes to the player of the month from either the AL or NL as long as they haven’t already been a lightning player in a previous month. So if Austin wins the POTM in the NL he will most likely be the lightning card as Marcus Semien has already won lightning award for May and is most likely the AL POTM for August in the AL.
No way Riley wins
18 players have a better WAR in Aug
3 players had a higher batting AVG (including 3 of the 18 players with a better war)
23 players had more RBIs
22 Players had more home runsIt seems pretty obvious to me the Cron and Naquin are the favorites. Cron's 10 home runs, 33 RBIs and .384 average in Aug will be hard to beat. He is top 2 in all 3 of those categories for AUG.
EDIT: And no way Semien gets AL Player of the Month for Aug. What stats are you looking at?

Right but it’s called player of the month. Not player since the all star break lol. Or any arbitrary date you select that helps your argument the most

In my Inital post he has not 4 of ten on road so that is almost half. He has more road games than home and is leading the league in rbi and maybe homers this month

I’m hoping for a Robbie Ray, yea I’m being a Jays homer but the guy has been so consistent all year. 6 ER over five starts this month. His last two starts 11 and 14 strikeouts respectively and he’s lowered his era from 3.04 to 2.72.

Out of everyone mentioned in this topic, the one I WANT the most is Sale.
He just seems like he'd be the only one that would likely make my team at this point. Potential to be a nasty lefty.
So again, not saying he DESERVES it, but im pulling for him.
Ya It would be way more fun to get a sale or Marte than another power hitting first baseman. I pull for the Rockies and most years we have the worst players to use. Last year was the exception and we rarely gets tops now or not one potm card yet this yr
-
Looking at the numbers we are definitely going to get Cron, Naquin, Marte, Wainwright, Logan Webb and/or Marco Gonzales
I think Wainwright is going to get the Lightning because there hasn't been a Lightning pitcher yet this year.

Yep you’ve been put on the block list. No original thoughts and steal others content even when it’s not correct. Then you troll others post because you dislike being called out. I don’t have time for that childish behavior. Have a good day fiddling with yourself kid.
