Does fielding factor into it at all?
Story is a wizard defensively. Someone mentioned Betts has assists and I know judge is good on defense.
Defense factors into their overall WAR but probably does not make a ton of difference in the POTM selections.

altuve looks to have a viable case

@lord_blumpkin35 said in Trevor Story - May POTM:
how are we not mentioning altuve?
"Since his return on May 2, he is batting .343 with 18 runs scored and 11 RBIs. Among his 24 hits, 13 have been for extra bases, including eight home runs."
Because he plays for the astros.

Not over Aaron Judge, again.

Not for MLB AL POTM but maybe in game because Judge already has a high diamond. But they wouldnt give it to Altuve.

Call me crazy but i can see it being a pitcher. If thats the case then my money is on Gausman
Tarik Skubal would like a word.

Didn’t see the tease on the schedule. Lightning player should be dropping next week correct?
-
Six total bases for his Topps Now. SIX. Really SDS. Really????

What? So now are we complaining because they are too easy? Should we go back to the 10 or 12 TB moments?
-
I apologize for not being clear. I think 6 total bases is a bit much for a moment. Especially when it starts in the bottom of the 2nd inning.

If Story didn't have that stupid Topps Now flashback this would be incredibly obvious......Goldschmidt is the only other real option, but he's another 1st baseman.
Altuve still has the Astros problem......people would complain.
I say a 96-97 overall Story is plausible.

If we get a May POTM Trevor Story that is 96+ ill play MLBTS again.

I don't think the "astros problem" will factor into it. People complained about rizzo, they will complain about goldy, and they will complain about story becsue his contact numbers will be in the 60s and he just got the topps now. It's either going to be altuve or a pitcher imo.

Story's fielding would go down to mid-gold at best, which would allow 80 plus contact a side.
Plus he'd be jumping up at least 5 in overall.

Story is bating. 238 this month... where are you getting 80 contact from each side?
He has also struckout the 3rd most times. So low vision and discipline.

We simply ignore the stats the stats that don't fit our narrative

Won't be Betts solely because he 95 release
Won't be Story because he just got the 91 recentlyNot saying neither of them deserve it but that has to be taken into account as well.
