Kalapse Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Well, seeing how he's currently one of the top offensive players in the game and actually plays defense unlike a most of the others who are up there offensively with him, I'd say Dye has to be the most deserving.

zygoat Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Dye has been lighting everything up lately and has been carrying us the last couple games, but i believe Thome is the most deserving. Earlier in the year when we swept Detroit away, Thome had 3 homers throughout the series. Pauly doesnt seem to be able to get the hits when we need them adn Thome has been there bringing in the runs or beating the shift almost everytime. Also Thome's average with runners in scoring position is above 400 (i believe) Dye is the man, but i think Thome deserves it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 w/RISP: Thome - (19-43), 7HR, 33RBI, .442/.571/1.000/1.571 Dye - (17-44), 7HR, 31RBI, .386/.482/.909/1.391 w/RISP & 2 outs: Thome - (6-18), 2HR, 8RBI, .333/.429/.667/1.095 Dye - (11-24), 4HR, 18RBI, .458/.581/.958/1.539 They're incredibly similar w/ RISP but Dye is far superior w/ RISP & 2 outs though he does have more chances.

ZoomSlowik Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 You can definitely make a case for either Thome or Dye. Thome is a little more dangerous as a hitter this year, but Dye does also play the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 im sorry. I love jermaine dye. i f***ing love him, BUT Jim Thome is most deserving. He leads the AL in homers and RBI and has completely changed the makeup of this offense. I think they should BOTH be on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Considering the ASG is in an NL park I can't pick Thome so its going to be Dye. Konerko is pretty deserving as well and I could really make a case for Crede. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 Dye is the popular choice thus far, and I can't say I disagree. And I bring a bias into my second choice, JOE.CREDE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Dye and Thome without a doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 (edited) Dye plays defense, so he wins. But they (Dye and Thome) should both be there, no doubt about it. Heck, PK could be there, Gooch maybe, Crede maybe....A.J. We're good in that everyday lineup. Edited June 8, 2006 by whitesoxfan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 09:42 PM) Jenks. IMO, he's not even an All-Star this season, depending of course on how many closers will be taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I think Dye is the most deserving, but I think Tadahito Iguchi has the best shot at getting the votes to start judging from past support of online balloteers from overseas coming out to support Asian players. Well, that and the only real competition he has is Robinson Cano who I don't think is as good a player nor is putting up as good a stat line, he is only in front because he is a f***ing Yankee.

Papelbon (by far, he's been unreal) and Ryan (who Bobby has more saves than) are the only AL closers ahead of him on the depth chart right now IMO, so I think he'll go.

chaerulez Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Dye, he has been on a tear this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivera is a shoe in plus Nathan despite the low save total is having a great year (better all around stats than Jenks) also Wickman could very well be the only rep for the Indians again this year with Varitek, Mauer and possibly Hernandez/Posada taking up the all the catcher spots and Sabathia being to fat to fly to Pitt.
