Holy Crap, Fontenot

He's not gonna keep it up, but right now he's actually got an 879 SLP index (Smells Like Pujols). It's a similarity score.

 

Basically, they compare the seasons rookies are having to what is widely considered the best rookie season ever, which was Albert's.

 

I know Font has been good, but to think he rates that highly is pretty ridiculous.

Here's the actual blog on Fontenot. Hope it's not a repost.

Is he elligable for rookie of the year? If so that's something to root for too.

No chance. Font would have to play out of his mind and Braun would have to completely come back to earth.

 

Hell, I'm not even sure he can catch up to Braun if Braun completely tanks the rest of the way.

i just clicked on the link to see how close braun is to pujols. Not surprisingly, very very close.

Yup. That's originally why I was looking at it, too.
