[Jenneral]

Braun representin'. :glasses:

 

I'm still surprised McGehee is only in 3rd.

[Cobb]

Mark Teixeira leading at first?

[Jenneral]

Mark Teixeira leading at first?

Better than Fielder. ^_^

[Cobb]

No Ryan Zimmerman?

[bigdog17k]

Wow no Alex Rios love? I guess we're forgetting what kind of year he's having at the plate. Plus he's always been good defensively. Edit: Also Paul Konerko has been very good at first base for being 34.

 

These are always really biased.

[Lkr]

Amazed that Longoria is beating out AFraud

[fish7718]

Lol Polonco over Wright and McGehee and Rollins over Hanley, what a shame

[Phightins]

Lol Polonco over Wright and McGehee and Rollins over Hanley, what a shame

 

Says the guy who probably voted Reyes, Beltran, and Delgado last season.

 

And Polanco over Wright is really not that laughable, FYI. Should definitely be Casey McGehee over either of them though, and Ryan Zimmerman over any of those 3.

Beltran deserved it last year. I don't vote for all stars I feel it's a waste of my time as 1 vote will not do anything considering most of these guys win by 20,000-30,000. Polonco over Wright is really that laughable Wright is better in every single stat except BA.

 

However, with the ASG deciding home field advantage don't we want the absolute best players starting? I agree McGehee deserves to be there but despite his better stats in 1 game I'd take Wright over McGehee.

 

NL should look like this

 

C: Molina

1B: Pujols

2B: Utley

3B: Wright/Zimmerman

SS: Ramirez

LF: Braun

CF: Werth

RF: Either

Agree with everything, except Wright should not be in the same discussion as Zimmerman. I am surprised you didn't mention Wright having a superior OPS to Polanco for your argument there. But if you want to talk about crazy OPS's, check out Zimmerman. Of all the positions, I actually think that is one of the easiest positions to pick for this year. But a lot can change in the next few weeks...

I agree at the moment Zimmerman is the better choice, I just feel Wright is currently heating up, and Zimmerman has been over performing since coming back. Right now Zimmerman > Wright obv, but who knows what can happen over a month. Yeah I would have mentioned Wrights OPS but it's not just his OPS, it's every offensive stats, SB's, 2b's, 3b's, hr's, obp, slg...except K's of course, Wright is on pace for like 200

Do the people who vote even watch baseball? I left the others off this comparison list who deserve it.

It's a popularity contest, dude. Big markets = big vote totals. Unfortunately that's just how it is.

I thought Chicago was a pretty big market.

 

Edit: Bigger than Tampa.

[Phightins]

I thought Chicago was a pretty big market.

 

Well, it is, but the White Sox don't have the national presence that a few other AL teams do (I don't think I need to mention which teams I am talking about ).

Despite the stats consider track history, do you think the fans in LA want Konerko or Teixeria at bat when home field advantage in the WS is on the line?

Probably the guy fighting for a contract and not wanting to get screwed like Dye. Teixeria has a huge comfy contract.

So because Konerko is in a contract year he is the better choice in 1 at bat to decide home field advantage, interesting.

[SeasonSeven]

Texiera being above Cabrera is a crime. Hell, I'm a Tex fan, and don't really care for Miggy all that much, but anybody can see that he's having a much better year.

Morneau = OMFG this season, Tex being above both of them is an incredible joke

So Tex above them is a joke, but not Konerko. Interesting.

Lol get over it, Konerko is having a fluke year, you don't see me complaining about Barajas not being the catcher for the NL

How is he having a fluke year? He's a 300 Career HR guy. Also just went 1-2 with a homerun and 2 RBI and 2 walks today. So keep hating.
