Myself, I don't think that's enough to win ROY I think a guy who's been up for most of the year deserves it as he's had the time to hit slumps and deal with the grind of the long season.
Sanchez is on pace to top all of those numbers but as you noted there is something to be said for a guy who played an entire season.
I didn't realize 1959 was Pinsons rookie year. I am surprised that McCovey won over him and even more surprised that he was a unanimous selection.
