July 2, 200817 yr QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 02:46 PM) A-Rod, Lowell and Longoria all probably deserve it more than Crede anyway. Longoria and Crede have near IDENTICAL stats. .268 avg/15 hr/47 rbi/42 r/5 sb/.343 obp/.521 slg - Longoria .268 avg/15 hr/47 rbi/35 r/0 sb/.344 obp/.498 slg - Crede

Longoria has been better defensively than Crede this year, so I'd probably give him the nod.
July 2, 200817 yr Crede makes some spectacular plays defensively, but its the everyday plays that make an all-star. .268 really isn't that impressive offensively to overshadow his errors.

Looking at RZR (revised zone rating): Longoria .719 and Crede .716 with Crede making 34 OOZ (plays made out of zone) and Longoria 30. So at least according to Revised Zone Rating they've been about equal. And for anyone who still gives a s*** about FLD%; Crede's .931 is by far the worst in the AL. At least he's been consistent with 8 throwing and 8 fielding errors.
July 2, 200817 yr QUOTE (feistyboy @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 02:49 PM) Crede and Danks both totally deserve it. If either miss it I will be very upset. Do you watch any other teams play?
July 2, 200817 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 02:53 PM) Do you watch any other teams play? I keep up with other teams. 3rd base is one of the worst positions this year in the AL.

ARod: .316/.399/.591/.990 Lowell: .299/.359/.518/.877 Longoria: .268/.343/.521/.864 Crede: .268/.344/.498/.842 Blake: .287/.358/.453/.811 Miggy: .280/.349/.457/.806 SS on the other hand . . . M. Young: .287/.339/.417/.756 Peralta: .253/.301/.447/.748 Jeter: .280/.340/.388/.728 Lugo: .269/.359/.338/.697 Cabrera: .273/.324/.372/.697 3B is the second strongest offensive position in the AL this year behind the blanket position of Outfield.
July 2, 200817 yr I've always been a big fan of Joe Crede. However, I don't think he'll make the All Star team and I really don't think he should this year.
