Freeman, Alonso, Harper........
Naylor...it's like they don't follow baseball
Naylor is not a better 1B than Contreras. He may be having a slightly better 1st half but it's just bc he doesn't strike out as much and has a higher BABIP. He's much worse defensively too.

Since April 18 Contreras is hitting .290 with an .885 OPS and 43 RBI in 53 games.

We currently have 3 players in the top/middle of the lineup that are hitting .313 or better for the season and then Contreras driving them in. He’s batting .325 with RISP with an .894 OPS.

Among 1b in mlb he is tied for 4th with like 5 others in rbis, but is only 14th in war and only 16th in ops.

Hes been great for us but quite frankly, theres better 1b.
I believe he’s 2nd in MLB among 1B In RBI according to mlb.com. Only Alonso has more.
My.bad, i probably forgot to include todays games.

Still, he just isnt the best 1b in league.

I love him, but no.
He's top 4 in all of MLB, for 1b in Outs above average

It’s ok! Right, he’s not, Alonso and Freeman are still 1-2. But Contreras is probably going to be the 3rd best by the time the AS game is here and the end of the season IMO.
That's my point. I agree with that ranking but He wasn't even in the top 5 last I checked.

Oh I agree, I think our players really are underrated/overlooked. Part of it is I blame the fan base’s lack of enthusiasm, which really goes back to management. He’s also new to the position and got off to a very slow start.

Donovan was 4th, should at least be 2nd or 1st.

Winn was 10th, he was like 6th by fWAR when the rankings came out

Contreras was 9th I think. He’s 5th in fWAR among NL 1B and should be 4th by next week I think. Pretty decent gap between Freeman/Alonso/Olson though and Contreras. So maybe I should have said 4th, not 3rd.

Herrera was like 8th or 9th as well among DH’s and like 3rd in fWAR.

Good stays. Simple lack of exposure. One reason why the team is doing well, no one takes them serious. No stars.

No one takes the Rockies serious, but that hasn't helped them.
