[doublejs07]

Nick Markakis and Adam Jones...that's all that matters....

 

[airvandal180]

How do you have Manny in the OF and not Beltran (and I'm not saying that as a homer)?

 

[dland24]

The fact that you have Manny and Mauer on your ballot invalidates your opinion. Sorry.

Mauer is hitting .455 / 4 HR / 14 RBI since being back in only 12 games...
Martinez is at .400 / 7 HR / 25 RBI in 3 times as many games

So you are saying after playing 12 games well, he deserves to be an all star?

Why not? He's not far off numbers from a guy who has played 3 times as many games. And Mauer is a great defensive catcher. He usually istowards the top in runners caught stealing every year.

yea but Mauer is hitting 455 in wayyyy less at bats, and Martinez is bouncing back from a down year. I think Martinez deserves the spot.

[gunna get it]

How is Alfonso Soriano not a starting OF on anyone's ballot?

 

[addictedtofreshkicks]

^ he's starting on mine

 

[shuges]

Manny, Beltran, and Sori in the OF for me.

Yes, pure "homer" picks.

 

[tsamshox]

Bengie Molina should be the starting C for the NL as far as I'm concerned....

And Pedroia, who's like, maybe the third or fourth best second baseman in the AL right now...

 

[addictedtofreshkicks]

well maybe if Uggla makes it to the ASG he can make 46 errors like last time... that was comical
