June 19, 201015 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 02:38 PM) Just look at all the Red Sox and Yankees who make it on reputation year after year. Can you name any who made it with an ERA of 4.5+?
June 19, 201015 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 01:38 PM) As far as Jenks, I don't apologize for listing him as somebody who could or should make it. He's been one of the better closers in baseball and sometimes they take guys on reputation and he's had a great season so far. Just look at all the Red Sox and Yankees who make it on reputation year after year. If you guys want to continue to devalue White Sox players, go ahead. Jenks ranks right up there with the elite closers. He has for years. Seriously?!? I don't even know what else to say besides that because that comment is so laughable. Anyways, Rios, Danks and Konerko should all be in the conversation but ultimately I believe it should just be Alex.
June 19, 201015 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 10:28 PM) The starters were too s***ty for too long a period for any of them to make it. What do the other starters have to do with Danks?
June 19, 201015 yr Greg gets the last laugh no matter what. Serious or not. Which he is. I don't know why you guys let it get to you anymore. I mean it's the same thing day in day out. It's not changing anytime soon. Sometimes i truly believe i am the only one that understands this.

June 19, 201015 yr You guys act like Jenks is some hack who blows a significant portion of his saves. He's been reliable for years.

June 19, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 02:42 PM) But you don't make the all star team by being reliable. Yeah, you make it by being popular..

June 19, 201015 yr QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 03:45 PM) Yeah, you make it by being popular.. As a position player, sure. Not as a pitcher.
June 19, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 03:48 PM) As a position player, sure. Not as a pitcher. Ding ding. You make the all-star game as a pitcher by being on the coach's team.
June 20, 201015 yr Author Although I don't think his chances are as good as Rios, Paulie, or Jenks.....if Freddy can get 2 more wins before the All Star game, he's a maybe as well. Tough not to take a pitcher with double digits wins at the break.

Tough not to take a pitcher with double digits wins at the break. Rios is our only lock for the roster right now.

Tough not to take a pitcher with double digits wins at the break. Freddy's ERA is almost 5.
June 21, 201015 yr Responding to greg775 posts is something nobody should do anymore. He's not even serious, he's just trying to get a rise out of people, and is succesful in doing so. Ignore him and he'll go away. As for the ALl Star Game, Rios is in and Konerko is a coin flip in my opinion. Nobody else should even be mentioned.

Konerko's problem is that there are 3 1b with OPS higher than him. Morneau, Youkilis, and Miguel Cabrera. He has the 2nd most home runs and RBI from that position behind Cabrera, so he's legitimately in the running.

June 23, 201015 yr Author Bobby pitched like an all star once again this evening....it really will be a shame if he's excluded from the All Star game.

I'm not trying to get a rise out of anybody. I think supporting Jenks and Ozzie may be unpopular, but my arguments for them are at least reasonable. I remember supporting Paulie heavily a couple years ago as well and that wasn't popular at the time and it seems to me everybody's back loving Paulie again. I mean I can discuss other topics besides Oz and Jenks if you like. Start a new thread. Edited June 23, 201015 yr by greg775

No, it really won't. In fact, with how vulnerable he has been to little injuries this year, I'd prefer he not make the team and get 3 days of R&R. I think the only 3 players that a case can be made for are Rios, Konerko, and Danks.
