  • 1986 All-Star Game - Discussion/Player Pimpin' Thread

    By my MAC Educated math skills... I believe the BLB ASG will be next Thursday's sim.... Do we know when voting will start? Too early to be pimpin'?

      I'll throw mine up...

      3B - Alberto Grandon - .266/.323/.556, 17/41. I'll come out and say it... last year I felt Grandon was unlucky due to the emergence of Josh Polling. Polling plays 2nd Base now. This year, I think Grandon HAS to be a lock. Among IL 3B he is currently:
      1st in SLG
      1st in OPS
      1st in HR
      1st in Runs
      1st in XBH
      1st in Total Bases
      2nd in 2B
      3rd in VORP
      3rd in RBI's
      3rd in OBP
      4th in AVG
      4th in BB

      The man has flat out racked since coming over to Cali. Give the man his due.

          I usually do it 2 weeks (in game) before the sim where I need to enter the names. I'll start voting after tomorrow's sim.

            I believe I get to manage this year's IL team, so the Tobs will be well represented.

            I will also be accepting bribes to get others on the team.

                  Only one guy deserves it on my team and he's been a regular at the event now. Yay him.

                    So... I'm thinking the toughest AND the easiest battle for a spot right now has to be IL First Base....

                    Dani Alvarez seems like the logical choice.... but what about Jared Kirby? Vincent Nino? Frank Hamlet? Couldn't you make a case for Jim Newlin and Robby Shannon too?

                    Some really, really solid seasons are going to go unrewarded.

                    With that... I still think it's Alvarez (1) and probably Kirby (2)... but... I'm not sure.

                      Nino is playing 3B again this season, so he's out of that race.

                        You should change his position to 3B or I'm not sure if the extractor will put him in the voting at 3B.

                          It's been fine every other year. I thought Andrew said it looked at how many innings they had played at that position?

                            Maybe so. I don't know the Extractor well. I just know every year it seems to make ommissions.

                              Kirby's got some great numbers, and he maybe having a slightly better season overall statistically. However Alvarez has the gaudy numbers that can't be denied. I'd vote for Alvarez first, although I do feel Kirby belongs on the team.
