All-star game - The Postgame Pub

**cruzg24** · 07-09-2008, 05:31 PM

So whose going to watch it? And any players that you feel got snubbed???

**tomkent53** · 07-09-2008, 09:38 PM

Right off the bat, I'm going to complain about the AL's Shortstop and 3rd basemen...

They're not doing that well correct?
I know. Hometown Yankees, so they're starting...
But I mean come on. Jeter's having one of the worst seasons of his career no?

**cruzg24** · 07-09-2008, 10:26 PM

yea jeter shouldnt rlly be in the all star game, but its a popularity vote.

**tomkent53** · 07-09-2008, 10:35 PM

Well.
How about some Rays snubs?

Evan Longoria
Carl Crawford

**nyG** · 07-09-2008, 10:40 PM

who would you say is a better AL shortstop? Michael Young? Jhonny Peralta? Both have very comparable stats to Jeter that stops them from being voted above him. And Young is the reserve.

**cruzg24** · 07-09-2008, 10:40 PM

evan might make it with the final vote that ends on thursday.

**tomkent53** · 07-09-2008, 10:43 PM

I hope Longoria does make it.
I think he's one of the key members of why that team is so good right now.
Be foolish if he didn't get voted.
Besides.
I'm sick of A-Rod.
Hated him since he left Seattle. lol.

Michael Young definately got snubbed. He's having a better season then Jeter.

**tomkent53** · 07-10-2008, 11:17 AM

Michael Young deserved to be in the All Star Game, no question about it.
Then again, with Jeter being selected you see where the people were coming from.
Anybody remember that story where players voted on the most over-rated player in MLB?
Here's the top two they picked:

Derek Jeter
A-Rod

Varitek's having a crap season this year, am I right? Ugh. All-Star game's turning into a joke. At least with the NFL Pro Bowl it seems more like it's based on a player's season progress, not popularity.

**nyG** · 07-10-2008, 10:27 PM

Michael Young BA-.297, OBP-.345, 370AB, 60R, 110H, 7HR, 47RBI, 28BB, 57SO, 6SB

Derek Jeter BA-.284, OBP-.346, 335AB, 51R, 95H, 4HR, 39RBI, 27BB, 40SO, 5SB

If I had to choose by looking at these numbers, it really doesn't matter that Jeter gets the start and Young is the reserve.

I don't think that even dignifies response.

this is true for the most part, but sometimes guys will sneak in there only because of their names rather than their year.

**nyG** · 07-11-2008, 02:33 AM

Corey Hart and Evan Longoria get in on the final vote.

**tomkent53** · 07-11-2008, 01:00 PM

Good. Longoria deserved a spot on the All-Star roster.
