The Story: Andrew Heaney is making a Rookie of the Year push.
The Monkey Says: He’ll get votes, but it is hard to see him beating out Miguel Sano or Carlos Correa if only because those two have been so much more flashy than Heaney. Frankly, they are just better. Sano hasn’t been up all that long (nor has Heaney) and has a 180 wRC+, which is better than Trout. The fact that both of them play for teams that currently are better than the Halos helps as well since the BBWAA has a tendency to make this the Most Valuable Rookie award instead of just the best rookie.
