craig mack Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Well 5 of my Tigers made it - Maggs, Pudge, and Polanco will start and Guillen and Verlander will be reserves. How did your teams fair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Only one Pirate made it, and he didn't deserve it. Not that I really care anyway. But, I thought most of the picks on both sides were pretty fair. The only real snub I have seen so far was Orlando Cabrera getting left off.

MCH Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Believe 3 Dodgers made it. Russell Martin, Brad Penny and Takashi Saito. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Believe 3 Dodgers made it. Russell Martin, Brad Penny and Takashi Saito. Kevin, who's Russell Martin? The picks were pretty good this year, there were only two instances of a player's popularity getting him into the starting lineup, Pudge and Jeter on the AL team. Victor Martinez deserves the start, he's been the MVP the Tribe so far this year. Orlando Cabrera should be starting...or at least on the team.

toddyboman Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Bonds is a starter:( Pujols the only Cardinal that made it (no real suprise) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin edge, but that guy has been pretty dominant this year. Only one that raised my eyebrow was Bonds. No starters for the Tribe and 5 for the Tigers? That's a small crime.

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 No starters for the Tribe and 5 for the Tigers? That's a small crime. Only 3 starters for the tigers . like muggs said, Pudge got the start on the popularity votes. but Polanco and ordonez are having pretty good years and deserve the start. Velander and Guillen getting picked as reserves...Verlander having a great year...and Guillen IMO is one of the best SS in the game...would have liked to see bonderman in there also.

Tominator Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Who's leading the AL Central? Annnnnnnd, how many starters from that team?????????????? I don't know. I think the baseball version of picking all stars should resemble what football does. The fans don't necessarily pick the best players IMHO.

muggs Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Fausto Carmona deserves to go, but he had a terrible outing last week and that probably cost him. He's right up there in quality starts and he's come back nicely after Wedge and Shapiro jerked him around last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Who's leading the AL Central how many starters from that team?????????????? by a WHOPPING 1-1/2 games?? and the lead has gone back and forth a few times this year The fans don't necessarily pick the best players IMHO. if you can find an outfielder with better numbers than ordonez , or a second baseman better than polanco i'd like to see it. Velander has good enough numbers to be there and with the no hitter i think that boosted him up a bit.. Pudge, already said he is there on the popularity vote Guillen...again...not to many better than him, and probably be starting if Jeter didn't get the popularity vote Curtis Granderson could have made it as well...having a great year 22 doubles, 14 triples, hitting .289, 11hrs...but, not many people know who he is, along with him being left off of the ballot because of sheffield being put on there could ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 All the Tigers deserved to be there, with the exception of Pudge. not playing BAD, but doesn't have the numbers to deserve to be there. there are few people always left off that should be there, but mostly it is just a popularity contest (pretty much with all proffessional all-star games) but i do like how this game has some meaning with the winner having home field advantage in the WS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I guess I could see Pudge as a reserve but either VMart orosada should've been named the starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I'm not saying the Tigers don't belong there, they do, but no starters from the Tribe? Come on. I'd like to see C.C. start the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 CC should start on the mound and VMart should be starting at catcher, no doubt. I think VMart has 73 RBI already. Outside of that, maybe Borowski with his league leading 24 saves?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Really?? Who cares about the AL?? We all know the power has shifted to the NL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Great to see 4 Brewers make it. Fielder starts at first, Hardy, Sheets and Cordero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
