redandwhite Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Whatever dude... if a guy's gonna be an All Star, he needs to have BATTED! Does Jeter who work whose batted under .200? ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 what about Matsui, A-Rod, Giambi and s*** liek that.. stop being an idiot, sheesh Yeah, that's bulls*** too. The fact that that many Sawks and Yanks are in is complete and utter bulls*** and why the votes should be weighted...let the managers, coaches, and fans vote for the starters...fans vote counts for 50%, managers and coaches counts for the other 50%. Having Nomar be leading SS's in voting is an embarrassment to baseball...even more embarrassing then Milton Bradley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I was laughing my ass off when Bradley went nutz in that game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Having Nomar be leading SS's in voting is an embarrassment to baseball...even more embarrassing then Milton Bradley. The fact is Michael Young should be starting in the all-star game, and he most likely will because I highly doubt Nomar will accept winning this. Also, it looks like my Ortiz, and Uribe votes really helped... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 This is fun. Reading about the pros and cons of a trade that didn't happen six months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 what about Matsui, A-Rod, Giambi and s*** liek that.. stop being an idiot, sheesh A-Rod will get hot and will EASILY be the best 3B in AL by the time mid-July rolles around. Roidambi is a disgrace, I agree. Matsui? After a slow start, the dude is absolutely raking lately. Already up to 990 OPS and rising. Plays good LF and is a very smart baserunner. If he continues this in the next 5 weeks, he'll pass Manny by as far as the overall value in LF goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False Alarm Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 i like nomar, and he's still good. it's wrong to say he'll never be decent again. but it's also questionable to say he's in his prime and as good as ever, and in fact there's a pretty good case to be made that he's in mild decline. his stats over his last 4 full years (throwing out '01 cuz he was hurt and didn't play much) show a steep drop-off in OPS: 1999: .357 AVG, .418 OBP, 1.021 OPS 2000: .372, .434, 1.033 2002: .310, .352, .880 2003: .301, .345, .869 still good numbers? definitely, especially for a shortstop. but not necessarily as dominant as we'd like. and his performance isn't likely to improve, IMO. but more disturbing if the white sox were looking to acquire and keep him are his home-road splits in 0'2 and '03: fenway: .343 AVG, .384 OBP, .970 OPS everywhere else: .266, .314, .773 i still think nomar'll stay around .300 and be a very solid shortstop for at least a few more years. but, looking at those road numbers, i wouldn't wanna trade maggs for him.
