May 28, 201412 yr Tell your friends, tell your family. If Giancarlo doesn't start in the All Star Game it'll be a crime. .
May 28, 201412 yr Did you really just say "vote, bitches!!!"? You should be ashamed. Yeah, that's the only crime here.
May 28, 201412 yr Voted at Dodger Stadium and online. I always vote for those who deserve it, not all Marlins. You can bet Giancarlo is on all of my ballots, but you know who isn't? Rafael Furcal. Also, Adeiny Hahahechavarria.
May 28, 201412 yr Author Did you really just say "vote, bitches!!!"? You should be ashamed. It's all about the attention-grabbing headline. Also, I have no shame.
May 28, 201412 yr Attention grabbing for all the wrong reasons, dontcha think? I certainly didn't open this thread to go vote for Giancarlo.
May 29, 201412 yr Adeiny has a lot of catching up to do if he plans on becoming a perennial all-star.
May 29, 201412 yr Adeiny has a lot of catching up to do if he plans on becoming a perennial all-star. He's still underrated per Tommy Hutton
May 29, 201412 yr I'm adding caterwauling to my dictionary once I find out what it means. verb gerund or present participle: caterwauling (of a cat) make a shrill howling or wailing noise. "the caterwauling of a pair of bobcats" synonyms:howl, wail, bawl, cry, yell, scream, screech, yowl, ululate
May 29, 201412 yr Did anyone else vote for McGehee or is that just me being a homer? It was between Wright and Casey for me and I feel like Casey has certainly played at an all star level so far and has earned some votes.

He's an all star for the marlins at 3b considering he's mid .700 ops and hitting out of his mind with RISP right now. Arenado and Frazier should both technically be ahead of him though from a statistical perspective, but casey is actually 4th in OPS among NL 3b this year. I mean that is utterly shocking really. If he can keep this up, he's basically a lock for come back player of the year I would think.

He, at least, deserves a look. Probably won't go though. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

I believe his OPS is actually higher, in the low .800 range.
May 29, 201412 yr Garrett Jones could easily win Comeback Player of the Year as well. I believe his OPS is actually higher, in the low .800 range. Yeah but Casey went to Japan and hasn't been mlb relevant since like 2010, but we're still 100 games away from season's end and all that. Also, If our doofus FO would actually start platooning Jones with Lucas like they should Jones would have a much higher OPS right now.
May 31, 201412 yr Tulo wins by a landslide if it ends today old school guys look at BA, where he's is up by like .050. new school guys look at WAR, where he is up by a lot
May 31, 201412 yr Old school or new school I'd venture to say that batting average is important at the end of the season. Because at that point it's more than just an average, it's a permanent ratio of hits to at bats. It reflects impact, deserved or not (what I mean by that is... if something like BABIP is suggestive of a lower BA, it really doesn't matter). I think my favorite case of this is Ricky Nolasco. All his peripherals suggested he was due for better performance. But when the season ends, he's still got shitty performance facts. And at the end of the season, fact is fact and there's no hiding it.
