Hey, you can take JD. I mean, I'd rather have Jason Heyward than JD.

Are you just looking at 2015? Defense matters. A lot.

I'll agree JD Martinez is a better DH than, say, Billy Butler. If your question is who is having a better offensive ten games, or who is having a better offensive season, then that is way different than who is the best RF in baseball.

Anyway, I don't think judging the "best RF in baseball" is possible at all with the metrics (I hate that word and sabremetrics in general) you're using, and is exponentially less possible using only half a season too...with said half season being the career super best shiny happy year of JD's offensive life by the way.

Anyway, JD is having a great offensive year. I'd just personally rather have quite a few others if I were picking. Heck, if you make it outfielders, there are probably 20 - 30 more I'd rather have.
