BearSox Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Just him? I would have to think Thornton had a legit shot. He's probably the best left handed reliever in baseball right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Haha, Granderson made it over Jermaine. Looks like Buehrle is only Sox player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 MB is the only one it looks like. We might have a couple of last spot candidates in Pods and Dye though. Lots of Rays there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan3530 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) How can Madden justify putting Ben Zobrist in over JD??? Edited July 5, 2009 by soxfan3530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 The all star game is such a joke. Hopefully JD will make the team for Hamilton. How many voted starters are on the DL? I count 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No denying he has had a good first half, but JD is better in every stat (minus SBs). And yes granderson should not be there. Also sucks that JD did not even make the vote.

scenario Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Jul 5, 2009 -> 01:02 PM) How can Madden justify putting Ben Zobrist in over JD??? When it comes to reserves, managers typically take their own guys if they can. Zobrist played well enough to be in the conversation, so Dye would have needed an overwhelming edge to get the nod. Frankly, I'm happy that our guys didn't get picked. Let them rest up for the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 We still got hope for JD... Hamilton will most likely opt out of the All Star game, leaving a spot open for an OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Hates Prospects Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 This is kind of OT but for some reason, Joe Maddon looks like a child molester to me. I just picture him riding around in one of those windowless work-release center vans with his stupid little Rays hat on and a box of candy sitting on the passengers seat next to the duct tape.

Oh well, as long as the fans vote and one team gets a mandatory player the rosters won't be the best players. I like having each team with a player, but the fan voting is stupid.

I could see him being a big fan of sausage, if you know what I mean. I think it's because of those glasses... Seems like a good coach and baseball guy though.

Yep. If it was up to me, I'd have the teams picked by tallying votes by players and coaches... having the manager pick the reserves doesn't work because they always pick players on their team. As for voting goes, you can leave the final man spot up to vote. Maybe make it the final reserve and final pitcher that you vote for. Or, at the very least, limit voting to once per e-mail address. It'll cut down on some of the vote whores from the Red Sox, Yankees, and Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I've always despised fan voting but even more so now that the game actually means something. You can't have it both ways imo, it's freakin stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 It really doesnt bother me about who was picked from the Sox this year....but next year I wanna see Slayer,Danks,Lexi,and Poreda make the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 JD should have gotten in over Granderson. Hell, what is Josh Hamilton doing on the roster? He's played 35 games this year. Can't believe the fans are stupid enough to vote a guy who hasn't even played 1/2 of the first half into the game... Zobrist's spot is well deserved. What bothers me is that Tim Wakefield made the damn team. 4.30 ERA with a high WHIP. Just because he's close to being done doesn't mean you put him on the damn team. It's not like Wakefield is Randy Johnson or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) Dye is not even on the list of 5 to vote on .......I. Kinsler is on it and he will win hands down!
