jerseysox Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) God Damn it. Look at all the stats of the top closers, WHIP, BAA, OPSA, K/9 Wickman is behind in all of them. You're the one who brought up ERA, I showed you his ERA sucks compared to other AL closers. Politte's stats> Crain's Politte's stats> Wickman Top three closers in the ALs stats> Wickman. You have absolutley no argument here. a guy who closes games for a living is more deserving than a guy who holds leads in the 7th and 8th for a living. i really don't understand how you don't get this.

witesoxfan Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) His era will be around four at the end of the year. He has alot of things against him now. I hope Hermy puts up a 4.24 ERA and Rowand a .271 average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseysox Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 i listed you 12 guys who i think are all-star pitchers. the one guy you don't think is going to go is bob wickman, the saves leader. i am willing to make wagers with anyone and everyone that cliff politte isn't going to the all-star game. i'll bet ANYTHING on this.

Wickman isn't even that good of a closer. Politte is the most valuable middle reliever in the AL this season. So since a closer is more deserving simply because he's a closer than Foulke should go to the All-Star game of Cliff too right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 This has become really pointless. We all pretty much have the same opinion. Consesncus says (not including jerseysox): Politte > Crain, Rhodes, Wickman, etc. Politte should be in the ASG Politte will not be in the ASG Cleveland = Best Bullpen Any arguments???
