Both players also were in player-friendly hitting parks, which voters seem to care about. Votto does put up good numbers that metrics-front office guys like so he has that advantage.

Votto is @ .198 now and we're over 1/3 thru the season. He's gonna have to crank it up pretty big to get to .250-.260 range by the end of season. And that's still gonna continue putting big dings in his career BA. He's never really been a true power hitter/RBI guy which is what 1Bmen are supposed to be.

I'd venture to say at this point his 1st ballot chances are in serious jeopardy,
