You really don't think Lowell deserves it?

empirestrikesback26 · June 11, 2006

for the AL it should be

C- Mauer
1b-Travis Hafner (guy gets no respect)
2b-Brian Roberts (for his combination of good hititng at the plate and good baserunning with 15 steals)
SS- Jeter
3b- Lowell (A-Rod is going to get it due to ignorant fans, proof that the All-Star voting sucks)
OF-Ichiro
OF-Vernon Wells
OF-Jermaine Dye

I don't watch the NL enough to vote for them.

Arod- 60 runs, 62 Hits, 13 Homers, 45 RBI's, 5 SB's, 37 BB's, .286 Average, .395 OBP

Lowell-30 runs, 68 hits, 7 homers, 23 RBI's, 1 SB, 16 BB's, .329 Average, .379

It would occur to me those ignorant fans are right.

Same reason I don't think Jeter doesn't deserve, gotta do more than just hit for a good average.

SuperManny · June 11, 2006

Lowell's VORP 18.7

AROD's VORP 12

Take into account AROD's defensive errors and Lowell's great play in the field he deserves it over AROD. He won't win though as AROD has the name recognition. Glaus is now at 15.3 VORP, Chavez is at 13.1 VORP and Blalock is at 15 VORP. AROD doesn't deserve the all star selection this year and has been pretty average this year in the AL for 3B and pretty bad on defense.

Hell AROD gets booed at his own home stadium.

Well Lowell doesnt just hit for high average. He's also been playing more gold glove D. It will probably come down between him & Chavez by season's end in that category. Tied for the league in extra base hits. Hell he's having a season that will put him in contention for AL comeback player, my guess though that it will go to Jim Thome. Projected for 2006-- .320 avg, 20 HRs, 90+ RBIs

Sizzlin22 · June 11, 2006

I know, but he has an insane amount of write-in votes.

Either way I give the edge to Dye, write ins never get it anyways.

Ortiz was a write-in for his first All Star game

OKay i have a question on this. Have they counted the in-park voting? or is this just the on-line voting?

riverside sluggers · July 10, 2006

:what:

Looking at foxsports mlb page, and well its showing Ozzie's lineup for the All-Star game...

1. Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez

2. David Ortiz

3. Mark Loretta

4. Alex Rodriguez

5. Derek Jeter

6. Vladimir Guerrero

7. Magglio Ordonez

8. Ichiro Suzuki

9. Pitcher

Maybe its just me but Ichiro & Mahk would be much more formidable at the top to set the line for the sluggers. Has Pudge ever led off the game before?

David Ortiz, Red Sox, 1B

Alex Rodriguez, Yankees, 3B

Vladimir Guerrero, Angels, LF

Ivan Rodriguez, Tigers, C

Fox Sports is so unreliable, I mean, that lineup is laughable. David Ortiz in the 2nd spot with Loretta 3rd is insane, Jeter at 5 and Vlad at 6? holy cow, where did they get that?

Papelbon58 · July 10, 2006

Has everyone seen the starting pitchers for the All-Star Game

AL: Kenny Rogers

NL: Brad Penny

I realize that the AL's hands were tied due to Halladay Santana and Contreras all pitching on Sunday, but Brad Penny? How about Brandon Webb or even Bronson Arroyo?

I do not like the starting pitching matchup, it seems cheap.

ARod2212 · July 10, 2006

Where's Liriano when you need him.

Moose · July 10, 2006

http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/events/all_star/y2006/roster_league.jsp

Liriano is on the roster? Who did he replace?

Cocos Disciples · July 10, 2006

Guys, that original lineup with Pudge at leadoff was just the starters, notice how it went by position.

Papelbon58 · July 10, 2006

apparently he was added for a position player

maybe Rios or Cano?

Papelbon58 · July 10, 2006

that is weird, when were they going to announce this?

Papelbon58 · July 10, 2006

whoa!!!! new news, he replaces contereras

Papelbon58 · July 10, 2006

apparently Ozzie decided Jose Contreras isnt going to pitch, so Liriano will be there

Moose · July 10, 2006

Boo-hoo. Liriano is a replacement. Thank you, Ozzie.
