Red Sox All-Star Game Thread

Who makes the ASG for the Sox?

[Beckett95]

Lowell, Ortiz, Papelbon, Timlin and maybe Manny if he can heat up

[Cityofchampions33]

Idk, people seem to vote for reputation more than current stats, especially at player posistions (1b, 2b, 3b) which is why I unfortunately think ARod will beat out Lowell though he doesn't deserve to beat out Lowell. I think Papelbon will make it, Ortiz as DH, and Manny in the OF for now. Beckett and Schill need to regain early April form to reel in some votes, as theyve been off a bit. Also maybe Loretta, if he keeps it up can make it, he by no means should be counted out, especially if he keeps hittin .500 as he has this month.

I hope nobody gets voted on and the manager's choice is Willie Harris so that all the regulars get 3 days of rest.

[Soxfan1]

I accedently picked schilling too without noticing. Disregard that vote.

 

Everyone but schilling on that list should make it but you never know.

 

I should do what that white sox fan did last year going to all the boards to get people to vote for posednik.

[YazYaz04]

i dont know about some of them, so I picked some sure bets.

 

lowell and paps,

 

ortiz and beckett probably, but I didn't vote. You never know what will happen with the n.l park and ortiz's dh status

[yeszir]

If Papelbon isn't voted in (he isn't a huge name outside of Boston), he'll be a manager's pick.

[jsinger121]

pitcher's do not get voted into the allstar game....it's only position player's

[yeszir]

:dance: D'oh. Gimme a break, I just woke up.

[jsinger121]

Papelbon is a lock if he keeps pitching like this and it won't even be a question

[Sox fan in Tex]

Ortiz, Lowell, Beckett, Ramirez and Papelbon deserve it for their play this year. It is real unfortunate that the fans get so much of a vote because as said, A-Rod will get in over Lowell. I'd be real surprised if Schilling got voted in this year.

[Cocos Disciples]

Yeah, I'm going with Ortiz, Lowell, Beckett, Papelbon, and borderline Manny.

[Sizzlin22]

I went Manny Lowell, Paps, border line Ortiz.

[schillingouttheks]

I just remembered that because the game's in Pittsburgh this year, there is no DH. So scratch my vote for Ortiz. Papelbon will make it, and Lowell deserves it.

[jsinger121]

Ortiz is on the ballot for 1B. Youkilis did not make it on the ballot. Ortiz will make the allstar team easily.

[jsinger121]

Sox should likely get 3-4 players on the All star team depending on who Guillen selects.

[redsoxrules]

Yeah' date=' I'm going with Ortiz, Lowell, Beckett, Papelbon, and borderline Manny.[/quote']

 

same here

[Beckett95]

Lowell, Ortiz, Papelbon, Timlin and maybe Beckett if he can get atleast 2 more wins and lower his era to about 3.50.

 

Manny hasnt done anything better than guys like (Johnny Gomes, Vlad, Nick Swisher, Ichiro, Sizemore, Ordonez, mench, vernon Wells, Gibbons, Rios, Blake, Dye) but could and probaly will be voted in by the people.

[empirestrikesback26]

All, even if manny and ortez are still batting sub .300

Ortiz can't be voted in as the DH because the game is a national league ballpark. He'll have to be picked as a first baseman.
