Carlos Lee has played 5 games (and only 29 innings of those 5 games) at first base in his entire Major League career.

 

That's like saying we can take one shortstop, because Miguel's on the team.

Delgado had a case, as did Nick Johnson, but I have no complaints on our selections. Carlos slumping lately didn't help his case.

 

Maybe we'll see him in the HR derby?

 

 

The only thing I don't understand is they took an extra SS in Izturis, who is batting .275, instead of taking an extra 1B in Johnson or Delgado or an extra 3B in Ensberg.

they should have taken Morgan over Izturis. I think the AL fans screwed us here. I mean the AL has a very deserving roster while the NL has so many guys who should be there.

Lol just thought of something as I read this. With how rediculous the voting is in the All-Star game and how important the game is now, fans from teams like the Dodgers or St. Louis or any other NL Team with alot of fans should vote for crappy AL players so they would start the game for the AL and do bad against the NL Starters. For example, Nl Voters would vote some bench player on the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to start at 1st in the All Star Game.

Gonzalez deserves it, but honestly Lopez deserves to be there (plus he's the Red rep) and Eckstein really isn't way under Gonzo's production. Izturis, well, that's a dumb pick. But in a less flawed world there are only two NL SS (Lopez and fan pick, we'll say Eckstein) and Bass still gets the short end because Delgado would be at first.

Yes. Cabs, D-Train, Luis and Lo Duca all deserve their All-Star spots. Delgado has been struggling as of late and with D-Lee, Pujols and others in the league, it was going to be tough for him to make it anyways.

There were no others.

I'll copy and paste my original point from the other all-star thread.. it probably belongs in this thread anyway.

 

Some might be missing the point.. Delgado may have been deserving but he wasn't voted in by the players.

 

These are all the players picked by LaRussa alone:

 

Smoltz - ATL

Fuentes - COL*

Peavy - SD*

Lopez - CIN*

Alou - SF*

Bay - PIT*

Gonzalez - ARI*

 

*He got SEVEN picks of his own, SIX of which he had to make to honor the "one player from each team" rule... so in essence, he got to make ONE of his own picks, that being Smoltz.

Two first basemen in a position that has so much talent is foolish.

pujols can play outfield.And that's especially relevant, since there have been nine outfielders taken.

 

And now Al with weather.
