June 19, 200817 yr Per the Sun-times C- AJP 1B- Derek Lee 2B- Alexei 3B- Aramis Ramirez SS- Ryan Theriot RF- Koisuke Fukudome CF- Reed Johnson LF- Carlos Quentin Super Sub- Mark DeRosa SU- Carlos Marmol C- Bobby Jenks Manager- Lou Piniella They forgot the starting pitcher in their original article(oops), but today they said it would be Dumpster. Also, they have voting for the all city team up in the website. I know we've wrecked those a couple of times.
June 19, 200817 yr Author I would definitly take Swish over Johnson. Even with his poor first couple months, he has still managed to put up mostly better numbers than Johnson.

June 19, 200817 yr Can't argue with that too much, but Crede and Ramirez are having very similar years (if Crede was his usual self at defense, i think he'd get the nod for sure) so that's a toss-up. I hate to say it, but Soto is better than AJ. And I'd take Dye over Fukudome. Swisher/Reed is also a toss-up...
June 19, 200817 yr Yeah...Soto is beating A.J. in a lot of offensive categories except average. As much as I love A.J., Soto deserves it a little more.
June 19, 200817 yr QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 04:36 AM) I think Id take Soto at catcher, Cabrera at SS, and Swisher at CF Theriot's doing pretty well at SS. If his average wasn't so pitiful, I'd suggest Swish as well. Dye is definitely superior to Fukudome. While Marmol is very good, Linebrink's getting the snub.
June 19, 200817 yr Dempster as the starter? Give me Contreras, Danks, or Floyd. I definately take Soto at C and Cabrera at SS as well.
June 19, 200817 yr Fukudome over Dye is not a slam dunk. Fukudome's OPS+ is 118, Dye's is 119. Dye beats Fukudome in slugging, Fukudome beats Dye in OBP.

Even with his poor first couple months, he has still managed to put up mostly better numbers than Johnson. I'm a huge fan of Swish and I would take him over Johnson, but not because of the numbers argument....I mean Swish has 14 games and 58AB's on Johnson...he should have overall better numbers, with the exception of avg and that's where Swish is behind 40 points. Not for long though...Swish has found his groove.
June 19, 200817 yr Cubs are winning almost every one.... http://www.suntimes.com/sports/1002467,cubsox061208.article

Even after his horrible start Nick's OPS+ is 97 and Johnson's this year is 89
June 19, 200817 yr QUOTE (jenks45monster @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 11:09 PM) Yeah...Soto is beating A.J. in a lot of offensive categories except average. As much as I love A.J., Soto deserves it a little more. He's better defensively as well, its a no-brainer to take soto. My team 1B-Lee 2B-Alexei (close with DeRosa, Im taking just Alexei's full time hitting stats, and he's superior defensively) SS-OC (mostly because of his defense) 3B-A-ram RF-f***UDome CF-Swish LF-Q C-Soto DH-Soriano/Crede Loogy-Logan Roogy-Dotel SU-Line and Marmol-honestly they are both awesome CL-Jenks Rotation- 1. Z 2. Danks 3. Dumpster-RLR is the reason he's 3 4. Javy 5. Floyd/Contreras Their lineup is outproducing ours, but our pitching is markedly better, especially in the bullpen. You also have to consider the AL-NL difference in regards to ERA. Edited June 19, 200817 yr by RockRaines
June 19, 200817 yr I think Soto should be ahead of AJ Swisher should be ahead of Johnson Dye should be ahead of Fukudome
June 19, 200817 yr Forget the All-Chicago team, I drool over the possibility of a Cubs / Sox World Series. Hellz Yea!
