Gaby Sanchez doesnt stand a chance. Sorry to say. Buster Posey has a nice batting average but that is the only thing working for him. I have to say Heyward all the way.

gee, you don't think you're being a bit biased there???
Posey's average is significantly higher and their power production is very similar. In fact Posey if you look at it has had better homerun success (16 hrs and 64 RBIs in 372 ABs) compared to Heyward (18 and 71 in 485). In order for Posey to catch up to the same amount of at bats that Heyward has Posey would have to go 18 for his next 113 (.159 avg) with 2 hrs and 7 RBIs in more than a months worth of games. Add to that he also has had to control one of the better pitching staffs in baseball and has a great arm for stealing out baserunners.
It has to be Posey for the simple fact that he would have to go into a major long slump in order to get down to the pace that Heyward has been at. The only categories he wouldn't catch up to him would be runs, stolen bases and walks

Its going to come down to the simple fact that Heyward puts more fans in the seats. Who knows we may see a co-roy. Nothings impossible.

Please answer this question...which stats are better
Player A)
.285 Batting Average
18 Home Runs
71 RBIs
81 Runs
Player B)
.281 Batting Average
19 Home Runs
81 RBIs
71 Runs
Now is there really a huge difference between Player A & Player B's stats?
That has 100% nothing to do with the ROY voting which is based on stats and only stats, not team success, also I wouldnt say Heyward is putting Braves fan's in seats, the first few weeks sure, but he's not a commodity like Strasburg was

Let's add a Player C (Posey):
0.323 Batting Avg
16 Home Runs
64 RBIs
54 Runs
and all in less time while handling one of the top pitching staffs in all of baseball. If you followed the Giants, he also changed the whole direction the team was headed toward. Before he arrived, they were an okay team. When he joined the team, they suddenly became a winning team and today find themselves in first place from being 8 or 9 games back at one point. Call me biased, but it's a no-brainer IMO.
