A- nobody cares about the batting avg title anymore

B- winning it in on the DL is no different than winning it on the bench

C- it's a silly pointless award that has zero impact on who the actual best hitter was in the league (it was Joey Votto)
Kinda begs the question why Weiss sat him out then.

Nick,

As much as you may hate it, LeMahieu did win the batting title. Votto had the better season, but did not win the batting title.

Mentioned previously, the batting title matters a lot when LeMahieu goes to discuss a new contract.

Give some credit when it's due.

It depends on the team. It depends on how he performs next year away from Coor's field, and it depends on how old he is/positional scarcity at the time he becomes a free agent. Remember, teams are less enamored by RBI's and avg than they used to be. Most of em have large metric analysis departments who both look at available stats and make their own in which to judge performance.

Most teams will look at his numbers and see his 128 wRC+ .143 ISO and 11 homers were good but not great and that at age 28 he just had his only season as an above avg hitter (and over doubled his previous year's WAR from 1.9 to 4.2) They will also see that on the road his wRC+ was 101 and 150 at home....

I'm thinking he will get paid like the player he is,a 2nd tier second baseman who had a career year in 2016 that he is unlikely to repeat.

I'm not going to disagree.

Some players hit well in Coors field, some do not. Can't deny the home and road splits for the team, however the field is where it is.

I never thought DJ wold pan out as he has. He would be wise to do what he can to stay in CO though.......The same goes for CarGo.

Slightly OT, but germaine to the subject:


IMO - with all the regular inter-league play, the title, 'League Batting Leader' looses its meaning. Same with any other 'League' stat or 'Crown'.
