Utility is very nice. Sortable. Very clean.

[Jake]

That DL catcher vote is tough.

[Delandis]

I didn't see Carlton as a starter only as a reliever? Did I miss him?

[Lintyfresh85]

I wouldn't worry about it.

Even if he's not voted in... if he keeps pitching as he is, I'll definitely add him to the squad.

[Delandis]

Cahill got hurt. If he's selected how does the replacement player get in, by votes or by coaches?

Pitchers need to meet the stat qualifier to be included as starters. They need to have pitched at least 1 IP per team game and have a G/GS ratio of greater than 50%.

[Jim]

If this is also the pimp thread I only have 1....

Denver Brode...I don't think he showed up due to a couple injuries but he's still pitching like he always does. 2.31 ERA in 66 IP with 73 K and 3 BB.

[Carlos]

I'd like to pimp Seltzer, but with Gremades and Keppel, it's a pipe dream. Unfortunate too because Seltzer is having a great year.

Browning is playing well again, but I think he's a bit under his first half performance of 1987 that helped him get in despite a lack of power. If he led the league in doubles again or was batting above .320, I think he'd get votes. Too many power guys in the outfield for him to stand out.

Kifle Al-Sadat might be the best 2B in the DL. But, it's not as clear cut. If someone likes power, they'll go with someone else.

[Delandis]

Baltimore Batting....Pitchers later.

Keppel.. please.

Also, maybe maybe Norm Peterson? 8 wins on a crappy team with a 3.62 ERA. 68 k's in 79 innings.

Maybe Finley Kinsey? He's on the DL now, but he's had a pretty good season.

IL SS Vote

R.A. Grounds (WAS) - .297, 24 2B, 4 HR, 36 RBI, 30 R, 4 SB, 0 CS, .984 field %
Dale O'Hegarty (VIR) - .301, 13 2B, 3 HR, 16 RBI, 39 R, 8 SB, 5 CS, .972 field %
Geoff Scott (PHI) - .299, 19 2B, 3 HR, 23 RBI, 41 R, 1 SB, 2 CS, .978 field %

Should be a close one. I think if O'Hegarty had not got hurt he would run away with this but now it is probably between Grounds and Scott.

[Clay]

Disagree.... O'Hegarty's numbers are comparable while missing 21 games to injury... I think a thorough voter will see that as the thing that pushes O'Hegarty over the top.

Wouldn't make much sense if you are going off the numbers. Or that if you consider Grounds and Scott are having All-Star type seasons for Division Leaders.
