IndySoxFan Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 help me.... why are we voting for frank thomas as an all-star? if frank was hitting near his lifetime average he would be a shoe-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clujer420 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 help me.... why are we voting for frank thomas as an all-star? if frank was hitting near his lifetime average he would be a shoe-in. He's near the top in several offensive categories. The game is being played in his home park. He's one of the guys who sparked our streak of good play. He's perhaps the best player in the history of our franchise. Need I go on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need I go on? no you need not... however i was not aware that home field and history were a factor in all-star voting.... off the record, i would like to see frank play in this game... on the record, he is not having an all-star caliber year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this is not a perfect world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of all the remaining possibilities, Frank is having the best season IMO. Hell, he's having a better season that Carl Everett is, and he's on the team. Carl Everett = .270 avg, 18 HR, 51 RBI, .353 OBP, .532 SLG, 33 BB, 50 SO, .885 OPS Frank Thomas = .287, 20 HR, 47 RBI, .429 OBP, .588 SLG, 61 BB, 59 SO, 1.017 OPS Nuff said.

Rex Hudler Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Most of you know, I am not the biggest Frank fan out there, but I think he wins this comparison with Everett. I think Giambi deserves a slot as well. I really think Frank will be asked to replace Mike Sweeney, so he will make it regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like I think too many people gave Carl Everett too much credit for his huge first month. Frank has gotten better each month of the season. Carl has gotten worse. (Here's hoping that he changes that trend in July) Frank has really come on in the last month or two. I believe he deserves to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
