i'm saying that's a bad adjective
"stat nerds" like HRs, hence Stanton

My personal choice would be Rendon because he does everything beautifully. It seems they are all pretty similar statistically; so for me, it comes down to which I've had the most pleasure watching and in order it would be: Rendon, Votto and Stanton.

Stanton couldn't get 60, still very awesome.

"Oct. 1, 2017, right behind home plate--I was there. It was the hardest-hit single of the Statcast era...at the time, anyway, it's not anymore...point is, is was very exciting--the ball just rocketed off Stanton's bat."
I just went to cast a (just slightly ambivalent) vote for him, but I guess I voted for Goldschmidt when the thread first went up. So when the final results are posted, deduct one from him and add one to Stanton's column. Votto won't win, but if he does, great.

None of you deserve Rendon.

Stanton stopped at 59, so it's Arenado's for the taking!
When you include pitchers, Goldschmidt is no longer in the NL top 10 by either version of WAR.
