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.

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'.

The 'shine' is off that apple too...the two teams could have met a half-dozen times...almost as bad as the NFL, where two teams could meet on the last week of the regular season, only to face each other again about six weeks later.
Now, I'm not saying all this is bad, I just miss having to guess how the final two teams will do against each other. But, we all have to know everything as soon as possible these days. I definitely have become part of the 'older' generation.

Cobb sat out the last game in 1910 leading by 8. LaJoie went 8 for 8 in a double header to edge him out. But they found an error in Cobb's record, which gave him a higher average, and they reclaimed Cobb the winner. But a controversy erupted out of further mistakes, and to this day, the actual winner of 1910 is neither. But they were both awarded a Chalmers car for top batting average.

I look for that response every time I use that word...thanks for playing along. My little tribute to Jackie Gleason (of course, his response was decidedly more 'colorful').
