all star voting updates - gherkin1496 - 06-21-2011
new results have come out. some things seem to have been sorted out but some still seem questionable. i think in the nl it should be mccann, fielder, weeks, reyes, polanco, braun, berkman, kemp and in the al it should be avila, gonzalez, cano, cabrera, arod, bautista, granderson, ellsbury. what are your thoughts?
RE: all star voting updates - andrewinnc - 06-21-2011
That's weird. We have the exact same All-Star team. Do you use the same formula I do?
RE: all star voting updates - gherkin1496 - 06-21-2011
no were just honest....unlike a lot of stupid people
RE: all star voting updates - bustin 5 knots - 06-22-2011
All of those guys I think have legitimate arguments except Polanco. A .717 OPS isn't my definition of "All-Star"
RE: all star voting updates - gherkin1496 - 06-22-2011
but who bustin 5? everyone at third base has been awful
RE: all star voting updates - bustin 5 knots - 06-22-2011
David Wright and Chipper Jones both have better OPS than Polanco; he may have the higher average but he has no pop. Also Miguel Cairo has been tremendous for the Reds this year even though he isn't the official starter
RE: all star voting updates - gherkin1496 - 06-23-2011
uh david wright is hurt and chipper..well chippers chipper...old and cant move
RE: all star voting updates - bustin 5 knots - 06-23-2011
He still has had a better season thus far than Polanco IMO. A lot of people like players with high average, I prefer the hitters with power, a nice average is nice though, but players who ONLY hit for average (like Ichiro) usually have OPS in the .700s or .800s
RE: all star voting updates - gherkin1496 - 06-23-2011
power isnt everything...is reyes not a top 5 hitter in the league right now because he only has 3 homers? i mean hes hitting .335. so power is important but if yiou are not a power hitter then i dont think you should be penalized

No, Reyes definitely deserves it. He has 13 triples, which boosts his OPS and SLG a lot
