1985 All Star Game Voting

[Riverman]

All right you two. Z has already told me that he is giving me a lot of authority so you can forget about Carlton and Windly.

[Lintyfresh85]

I worship the ground you and Z walk on, Riverman.

Please include Steward and Grandon.

*Bows in your greatness*

[Gyrodork]

Based on the current voting with 1 team left to vote, here is the DL roster:


RP - Carl Bell, LOS

Here are the players I'm considering for my 8 manager picks. DL owners, please feel free to chime in.


*OF - Ken Cahill, LOS

The Javelinas only speak a rare form of pig-latin. If you don't select Cahill, there'll be no one there to talk to Bell.

Here are the players I'm considering for my 8 manager picks. DL owners, please feel free to chime in.

Figured I'd take a last stab at Pat Reardon, who enters today with 16 saves, a 2.05 ERA, and a 16 game scoreless(unearned) streak, in which he's saved 13 games and won 2. He's only blown one save all year. The only argument against him, in my view, is that he only has 22.0 IP in 23 innings, although that is basically in line with the rest of his career.

Man there are some tough choices for the last few spots in the DL. The roster I've decided on with 3 spots left to fill is:

C - Sergio Lumar, SIN
1B - Everardo Gremades, PIT
2B - Leonel Tesina, DEN
3B - Johnny Buzzell, PIT
SS - Anier Tafur, IND
OF - Jose Guzman, DAL
OF - Curt Halpern, SYR
OF - Ellis Shinamius, SIN

OF - Adam Nickell, PAW
OF - Jim Coker, PIT
IF - Joe Seagarra, DEN
IF - Harry Keppell, HYU
*C - Kyoden Kubota, MAI
*IF - Amato Albors, DAL

SP - Joe O'Connelan, PIT
SP - Teagan Corrigan, MAI
SP - Orrin Brudenell, MAI
SP - Gil O'Moore, MAI
*SP - Joe Gauina, IND
*SP - Broderick Joyce, SIN
RP - Eric McCoy, IND
RP - Tsunayoshi Sato, PIT
RP - Bobby Sizer, HAR
RP - Carl Bell, LOS
*RP - Pedro Fuentes, MIS

*= Managers pick

The last 3 spots are going to:

OF - Ernesto Adron vs Ken Cahill. There is very little between these two. Probably the toughest decision I have to make.

Reliever - Troy Sisk vs Alec Lewis vs Wayne van Slyke vs Pat Reardon. The voters liked van Slyke but I am leaning towars Sisk or Lewis

IF - Howard Haydon vs Pedro Zamarida vs Jeff Longstreet. I need another guy that can play middle infield.

Eddie O'Fallon and the loser of Cahill vs Adron are going to be the two biggest snubs

Just realized Adam Nickell from Pawtucket is out 3-4 weeks. This helps a little. Adron and Cahill will both make the team.

[Pat]

If it helps any, I like it when the All-Star game features players who have never been before.

[Jistic]

If it helps any, I like it when the All-Star game features players who have never been before.

Made me feel better. Thanks man.

[Pat]

Made me feel better. Thanks man.

You're welcome.

Yeah apparently that's hurting my offense. You should still name him to the team, then replace him with another guy.

Yayyy! Of course, I just realized that Cahill will be in the dugout and Bell will be in the bullpen; so they won't be able to talk to each other in pig-latin during the game after all!

[Clay]

Esser has made a push into the top 3 for IL pitchers, good to see.

Also it appears that Casimiro Cabezas will be voted into his 8th all-star game. He's been an All-Star every season in this league. I wonder if anyone else can also claim that.

I can claim it... doesn't make it true though.

Keppel missed 78
Simmonds missed 81

Hmmmmm....

I thought Corrigan might have done it, but it appears he missed out in 79.

Guess I should have checked my own team.... Wilton Harcourt just made his 8th All-Star Team.

[Z]

Harcourt's always been an animal.

This is Mel Woodbury's first All-Star appearance. It's about time.
