Kalapse Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 12:24 AM) Haha. Anyway - gotcha. But really the disparity in numbers is ridiculous and it would be a joke if IRod made it over Jorge. Since when is the AS game anything but a joke?

You can't have some idiot fans who don't know what the hell they're doing potentially effecting the world series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead johnson Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 05:03 AM) Detroit could send White, Guillen, Young, or Bonderman (listed in order I'd take them) Cleveland will probably send Hafner, but could also send Cliff Lee (#s are close to Garcia's, but slightly worse) Tampa Bay should send Cantu Kansas City doesn't deserve an all-star, but the closest thing they have is Emil Brown. Brandon Inge is Detroit's most likely all star, IMO. Jeremy Bonderman's ERA is too hig, and his WHIP is in the 1.30 range. Kansas City should send Mike Sweeney, despite his limited # of ABs. Mike MacDougal has converted in 7 straight save opportunities since May 19, so perhaps he's a candidate. It's not that far-fetched. Grady Sizemore is the obvious choice in Cleveland.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 The fact that we can make a legitimate argument for 3 guys from our starting staff is amazing in itself. I don't think he'll make it. Like somebody mentioned, you're not gonna have 3 starting pitchers from one team make it. Not unless they play in NY, Boston, or that other s***ty team in Chicago.

He has an OBP of .307, which is like damn near 80 points less than what it was last year. Also, he's nowhere near what he once was on D, but he's still damn good (actually a lot better than last year with the weight loss, he has conceded as much). I said Inge is the most likely earlier in this thread, but that's not accurate. I must have had a brain cramp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafner has much better numbers than Coco and Sizemore for that matter. Doesn't mean Covellie (SP?) isn't a good player, which he is, it just seems all of his and Belliard's HRs and RBIs come against the Sox.

Ozzie Montana Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 (edited) I guarantee someone with worse numbers than Garcia makes it. The sad thing is we dont get a chance to vote for the pitchers as well. Id be cool if we could atleast vite the starting pitchers in and the the manager can select the reserves.

maggsmaggs Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 According to Sporsline.com's Starting pitcher rankings Garcia is the 7th best AL starter behind (in order) Halladay, Buehrle, Garland, Colon, Rogers, Clement. There is no doubt Freddy, Mark and Jon should be in the all-star game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Buehrle (2.42) 3. Kenny Rogers (2.46) 4. Bartolo Colon (3.02) 5. Jarrod Washburn (3.21) 6. Jon Garland (3.25) 7. Freddy Garcia (3.29) 8. Matt Clement (3.33) 8. Chris Young (3.33) 10. Jason Johnson (3.39) Damn, imagine if Clement would have signed here. Our rotation would be sicker than it already is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
