Re: MLB All-Star game voting thread
Magglio ordones deserves to be the starting RF in the All Star game. He leads the AL in RBI and batting average, and is third in HR.
Placido Polanco deserves to be the starting second baseman. He is the ultimate team player. Flawless in the field, and is the best #2 hitter in the game.
My solution for the fans voting the wrong players into the game is this.
Let the fans vote. After the vote is finalized, allow the Commisioner to remove one player from each league, that the fans voted in for one player at that position that is deserving.
Then, allow the manager of each team the same "veto" rule. This will at least eliminate 2 players on each league that the fans may have voted in that werent deserving.
I agree about Ordonez.Originally posted by Jay BilasThe question isn't whether UConn belongs with the elites, but over the last 20 years, whether the rest of the college basketball elite belongs with UConnComment

Re: MLB All-Star game voting thread
The guy has a freakin .485 on base percentage. That would be the highest in the majors since 2004. The last player not named Bonds in the NL to finish with an OBP that high was a guy named Arky Vaughn for Pittsburgh in 1935. Oh yeah, .577 SLG. I hate the guy too, but get serious here.Comment

Re: MLB All-Star game voting thread
Both are having good years, but I'd give the slight edge to Youk at this point.Comment

Re: MLB All-Star game voting thread
Polanco and Roberts are having similar seasons with the exception of stealing bases, I'd say it's a toss-up. Upton has some nice power numbers and some steals, but is horrendous in the field. He doesn't make enough difference at the plate to offset his fielding, IMHO.Last edited by snepp; 06-04-2007, 09:42 PM.Member of The OS Baseball Rocket Scientists AssociationComment

Re: MLB All-Star game voting thread
For the hell of it...the stats:
Polanco: 1 HR, 30 RBI, 2 SB, .335 AVG, .382 OBP, .419 SLG, .801 OPS, 0 errors
Roberts: 2 HR, 17 RBI, 19 SB, .320 AVG, .413 OBP, .420 SLG, .833 OPS, 3 errors
Upton: 8 HR, 29 RBI, 11 SB, .318 AVG, .402 OBP, .542 SLG, .944 OPS, 11 errors
Based just on those numbers, I'd probably give Roberts the nod, with Polanco a close 2nd, and as snepp said, Upton taking a hit because of his defense.Comment

Re: MLB All-Star game voting thread
The RBI's don't really mean much considering Youk has been hitting in the 2 slot most of the year while Morneau has been batting 4th or 5th. His SLG is only about 20 points less even though he has 8 fewer HR's.
