1989 All-Star Game Voting

[Clay]

Good luck.

I know you'll do the right thing. I know you care more about having the best team and winning the ASG than you do about admitting I have some All-Stars.

I didn't vote for Alvarez at 1b. Someone did, but how can you ignore that average for Shannon? Alvarez should be a lock as the backup though.
Romo's a lock. Tardif deserves some consideration. He's been outstanding, but the IL is loaded with some great pitchers this year.

I voted Shannon, but Alvarez will be on the squad. Likely Tardif as well.

Coin-flip, really.

Pimping out Owen Gilbertson as a pick.

Among OF'ers in the IL he ranks the following.

AVG - 2nd
OBP - 2nd
SLG - 6th
OPS - 4th
VORP - 3rd
Hits - 2nd
2B - 1st
XBH - 1st
Runs Created - 3rd
RC/27 - 2nd
Total Bases - 6th
RBI - 6th
Runs - 4th
Walks - 4th

Under the circumstances (those circumstances being that you're a giant douchebag)... I'll take those odds.

You better hope BradZ is a fan of yours.

[Clay]

He loves my team... and so do you. Don't play hard to get.

I feel dirty for voting for as many Bats and Colonials as I did.

You'll get the last laugh when you're in the playoffs and we're both on the outside looking in.

Dallas pimps:

- CL: Diaz is the only DL closer 100% in save percentage. I had started the year with him as a starter so that has inflated his ERA a little but since he's been put back in the CL position he's been lights out.

- Quick pimps...Denver Brode (most wins in DL), Eneas Sanchez (very low run support from team but has put up great numbers), Yi & McMonies (both putting up great relief stats).

- (Spectre & Carlos): I don't think a DL All-Star team would be complete without Jose Guzman. He was injured for 1 month so he doesn't qualify to be on the ballot. He's putting up his usual numbers though: .329, 7 HR, .422 OBP & .553 SLG.

Romo's a lock. Tardif deserves some consideration. He's been outstanding, but the IL is loaded with some great pitchers this year.

I voted for Alvarez too (before reading this). I went back & forth between Shannon & Alvarez but ended up with Alvarez because he's hitting HRs & hitting over .300.

I originally had Tardif checked for one of my picks but like you said too many good IL pitchers so ended up going with someone else. I think he should be a managers pick though.

Not sure if Matt pimped Cobb but if he didn't I will for him. I picked him over Gilbertson also in part due to the power vs. AVG. If Cobb didn't get for 3 weeks I'm sure he'd have even more HRs, RBIs, etc. I think he deserves a starting spot.

Tardif is another guy who has a really cool career to look at.

Coming into the league, he was a power pitcher with plus control.

Now that he's older (all of 25) he's really learned to pitch and is one of the toughest guys to work a walk off of in all of the BLB.

I accept cash

You can have the money. I just want the POWER!

[Clay]

I'm not ready to vote yet, can someone post the current IL results?

You would let current standings influence your votes?
