Sabermetrics stats like WAR are meaningless. Stewart is absolute proof of the eye test and old school baseball far exceeding the BS that is analytics. If Stewart starts at 2B or 3B(his natural position) instead of 1B this year we aren't even having this discussion. 15 stolen bases, 31 HR and 107 RBI

NL RoY race is kind of interesting. Not that Stewart isnt the heavy favorite at this point, but he has the lowest WAR of the 4 and at least 2 of the other 3 will likely win gold gloves if not all 3 (Benge is doubtful but his arm has him in the running). I could see McLean winning RoY if he gets his ERA under 3.00 but thats unlikely.

I literally couldn't care less for ROTY.

He is still a bat first guy who is below average defender. He has one elite tool. Top 25 is usually what is considered elite. 26-50 is great/good. 51-100 would be for upcoming prospects.

He was #23 in Baseball America's top prospect list going into 2026. Top 25 seems pretty highly regarded

He is also an average to below defender. Every scouting report says that he was a below average defender that would most likely end up as a first base/dh type. He wasn’t a big prospect. He still became a good player but he wasn’t an elite prospect.

Redsnation has been talking about him for two years. He was moved to First Base because of his versatility. But can play almost anywhere on the infield, except SS

He had a decent rank last year but he still wasn’t an elite prospect until this year. He didn’t even have a position that they thought he could field.

Mr. Dolenz, is the New Program referenced for Friday on the New Content Banner, in fact, the Spotlight Program? Also, any idea on the new Conquest? Thanks

The Spotlight and Program are separate on the schedule so there should be a new program in addition to the spotlight.

I have not seen any announcements about the new program or the conquest

I'm calling a Last Ride Program.

Need LR cards. Only two right now.

Ok, Elly Ignored

If you thought that they would release Elly as a free spotlight card then you were fooling yourself.

It is a card desired by too many people. He's a switch hitter. He will get his card but my guess is it will be harder to get than a normal spotlight card. They'll probably make him an inning boss or a collection reward.

I'm being repetitive but it seems like they are specifically ignoring the Reds this year. I'm sure when Sal Stewart wins Rookie of the Year, and TJ Antone wins Comeback Player of the Year, we'll hear. "Wow, they came out of nowhere." How many CJ Abrams spotlights have we had?, Jacob Misir(Whatever) cards... Steele Hall was ignored in Pipeline while I'm being whiny.
