If
Gary
Sanchez
is
getting
consideration,
so
should
Healy!
Yes,
certainly.
But
let's
not
go
too
crazy
with
the
argument,
seeing
how
Sanchez,
in
56
fewer
plate
appearances
entering
tonight,
had
a
45-point
OBP
advantage
and
a
164-point
slugging
advantage
over
Healy.
In
True
Average
terms
(park-adjusted,
linear
weights–based,
.260
is
average),
Healy
is
at
.307
to
Sanchez's
.341.
This
means
that
Sanchez
has
created
about
three
more
runs
with
his
bat
than
Healy
despite
the
plate-appearance
deficit.
Healy's
running
out
of
time
to
make
up
that
gap,
even
before
you
get
to
the
fact
that
Sanchez
is
doing
all
this
at
catcher,
and
in
particular
as
a
catcher
whose
framing
numbers
have
been
good
three
years
running,
while
Healy
is
still
finding
his
way
as
a
third
baseman.
So
yes,
definitely,
of
course,
consider
Healy,
and
consider
Sanchez,
but
I
still
consider
Healy
behind
Sanchez,
and
therefore
I
think
Healy
falls
off
my
American
League
Rookie
of
the
Year
ballot,
which
goes
Michael
Fulmer,
Gary
Sanchez,
Sean
Manaea.
