July 7, 201411 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 08:50 PM) They all deserve it, honestly. Too bad. Sale just deserves it more.
July 7, 201411 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 07:51 PM) Sale just deserves it more. Sale deserves it more than Lester and Darvish, is the problem.
July 7, 201411 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 08:44 PM) I'm pretty scared that Richards will make a run at us. Hector Santiago has been retweeting this non-stop. Is Santiago some big star now? Richards will have the next highest votes simply because he is from LA and has good numbers not because Hector Santiago is retweeted stuff
July 7, 201411 yr Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 8m Will be writing about ASG selections tonight. One thing: Farrell has a pitching spot to play with Tanaka pitching Sunday. Hello, Chris Sale.
July 7, 201411 yr The AL's final vote players are all pretty damn good, almost all extremely deserving. I'm not sure how Keuchel, Sale, Richards, and Kluber didn't get on the team. I guess part of it is just how stacked the AL is this year. It's actually hard for me to objectively vote for Sale since guys like Kluber have almost similar numbers, but a much higher innings load. I think Sale's going to get in anyways since a few guys who pitched on Sunday won't be able to play in the game.
July 7, 201411 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 08:57 PM) Sale deserves it more than Lester and Darvish, is the problem. Definitely more than Scott Kazmir. Great story and all, but there's way better pitchers in the AL. Sale's one of them, along with Kluber and Richards. You can make an argument for Keuchel as well. Hell, we should be pissed that Q didn't get a mention. 3.20 ERA and 2.88 FIP, 8th most fWAR in the AL among pitchers. The A's already had 5 all-stars before Kazmir. His inclusion seemed unwarranted. BTW, I actually think Lester and Darvish were good picks #2 and #3 respectively this year in fWAR. I was actually unaware of how good Lester's been this year before I looked his stats up just now.

July 7, 201411 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 07:39 PM) Is there a max voting limit online? Feel like I have voted well over 30 times so far I probably voted 50 times too. I can never remember when they do this but I don't think there is a limit. I'm tired, too much sun today. I'll vote more tomorrow.
July 7, 201411 yr Farrell has already said Uehara will be the fjrst replacement pitcher, so Sale wasn't even the last one cut...lol.
July 7, 201411 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 09:04 PM) #solvingcaptchasforchrissale I was really hoping their security would be as lax as it was for Pods and AJ. All they required was a random six-digit number that matched. That was easy to jackup with JavaScript. Not worth the time this year.
July 7, 201411 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 07:17 PM) Caulfield this is not the time for tangents or failed Steve Phillips' trades. Scott Kazmir has not been better than Sale by any metric. Nevertheless, if the A's win the World Series this year, Moneyball II the movie will prominently feature the acquisitions/subplots of Kazmir and Jesse Chavez.

July 7, 201411 yr Author QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 02:21 AM) Why is SoxTalk promoting a sale at Target? Are we getting sponsorship kickbacks? The game is at Target Field this year.
July 7, 201411 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 08:26 AM) The game is at Target Field this year. Yes, I know. I was joking/being facetious, like tmar.

Richards will have the next highest votes simply because he is from LA and has good numbers not because Hector Santiago is retweeted stuff Trout is giving away a signed "gamer" bat on Facebook if Richards wins. So it's pretty much Richards vs sale , still voting!
July 7, 201411 yr I've had the vote again tab open all day and will until voting closes thursday. Also happy about the text voting when I'm not by a pc. Gotta help #49.
July 7, 201411 yr Looks like the sox are teaming up with the nationals while the cubs are teaming up with the tigers in getting their players in, wonder why they choose not to team up with eachother.

I'll always hate the cubs, even if Rizzo deserves to win, I'm gonna vote Rendon not because of the partnership with the White Sox, but because Cubs teamed up with Detroit.So F*** Detroit and F*** the Cubs.
