_______________________

|Red = Lock

|Blue = Best chance on team

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oakland - I have no idea who could possibly be the A's All-Star. I'm gonna say one of thier bullpen guys Huston Street being the favorite over Justin Duchscherer and Chavez having a shot a long with Zito if one of the relievers is not taken. OAKLAND SHOULD NOT HAVE AN AS THIS YEAR

Toronto - Roy Halladay is an easy lock for the AS game, he should end up starting it based on his first half production of course a guy like Mark Buehrle is just as deserving and could get the knod seeing how he's on the best team in baseball. Other dark horses are: Miguel Batista, Vernon Wells and Shea Hillenbrand.

 

Tampa Bay - The D-Rays will send Cantu, he is the most deserving by far. Crawford has a chance if they snub Cantu.

 

Cleveland - Grady Sizemore and Hafner have a chance of going but only one of them. With Wickman IMO staying home.

 

Kansas City - One of Mike Sweeney and Emil Brown will go. With the favorite being Sweeney though he is injured. KC SHOULD NOT HAVE AN AS THIS YEAR

 

Detroit - I still think IRod is going to the AS game. He'll be voted in by the players based solely on Reputation alone. Inge is second in line behind IRod. Bonderman has a shot if IRod doesn't go I still think his ERA and WHIP are too damn high.

 

Minnesota - Santana and Hunter are both locks for the AS game. Jesse Crain has a 100000 to 1 chace of making it as a MR.

 

Chicago - Buehrle and Garland will both be in the AS game for sure. Konerko has a definite shot at the backup 1B spot if Sexson doesn't get it. Politte has a 10000 to 1 shot of making it as a MR. Hermanson probably has the 4th best chance of making the AS team seeing how Batitsta is most likey going to take up a spot as the Blue Jays lone rep. Garcia has an outside shot with his strong push going into the AS break. Scott Podsednik has THE outside shot, probably no chance in hell but I like seeing his name up there.

Some dark horses to consider -- Andy Sisco for the Royals, Haren and Harden for Oakland. I don't think any of them'll actually get in, but I'd guess they're in play. Harden's obviously the unlikeliest, w/ all the missed time. One of Duchscherer and Street has to get in, too.

Boston might have Damon & Clement.

New York could have Jeter and Matsui.

Texas could have Chris Young and Soriano.

Anaheim will have Colon.

 

 

I'd say the bench would be:

 

C- Ivan Rodriguez

 

1b - Sexson

 

2b - Soriano

 

SS - Jeter, Michael Young

 

3b - Cantu, Chavez

 

OF - Damon, Emil Brown, Matsui, Hunter

 

DH- Hafner

 

 

SP- Halladay, Buehrle, Garland, Cliff Lee, Clement, Colon, Young, Randy Johnson, Santana, BJ Ryan, Batista.

Freddy Garcia>Chris Young

 

Ok, well actually it's real real close and they are similar as hell. But Freddy gets a slight edge.

Now Tito, etc need to realize this.

 

Assuming 12 pitchers go.

 

12 pitchers

1. Roy Halladay

2. Mark Buehrle

3. Jon Garland

4. Matt Clement

5. Bartolo Colon

6. Johan Santana

7. Mariano Rivera

8. B.J. Ryan

9.

10.

11.

12.

 

Those are 6 I can confidently say are locks. Any suggestiosn for locks?

Would that affect his eligibility?  I dunno, I figured it would only apply to team games.  But maybe.  It would be very difficult to exclude him if he's eligible.

I don't think the MLB would want to reward him by putting him in the All-Star game.

Locks: Mariano Rivera and BJ Ryan

 

Ultra close to locks: K-Rod, Eddie Gaurdado

 

Deserving: Dustin Hermanson

I love krod, he is on my main fantasy team this year, I really don't think he is close to a lock though. He was injured and has been a little disapointing to me.

Adding your locks that leaves 4 spots for...

 

-K-Rod

-Gaurdado

-Hermanson

-Politte :)

-Garcia

-Chris Young

-Cliff Lee

-Wickman

 

If I had to pick 4: K-Rod, Eddie, Hermanson, Garcia

Randy Johnson is still deserving, even in the off year.

 

Check the stats.

 

If Johnson doesn't make it, then, Rivera will.

Johnson over Rivera? Ill just say no to that.

 

I cant think of a more deserving closer than rivera at this point. Even with his slow start he is the most worthy.

Johnson won't make it gauanteed. He's having an off year and when he has an off year people get seriously down on him.

 

Mo Rivera is a lock for sure. .91 ERA .91 WHIP, that is just sick.

Clement got shelled and now might have less of a case than Freddy.

Oh well - Tito will still pick him

Freddy should be in there but you know there is no chance that Francona will pick him over senor slider.

We shall break it down one last time. Though it won't happen seeing how the Coach of the AL AS is Francona. Lets compare Freddy Garcia's stats with Matt Clement's shall we.

 

Garcia - W:8, L:3, ERA:3.29, CG:1, SHO:0, H:96, BB:29, SO:77, WHIP:1.12, OPSA:.641, BAA:.231, K/BB:2.57, BB/9:2.33, K/9:6.19, H9:7.71

Clement - W:9, L:2, ERA:3.82, CG:1, SHO:0, H:104, BB:35, SO:88, WHIP:1.28, OPSA:.672, BAA:.251, K/BB:2.51 BB/9:2.91, K/9: 7.31, H9:8.64

 

It's a damn shame Francona is the manager of the AL AS team, though he does deserve to be.
