I always have a few rules established before voting for the AS game.
1- I can never under any circumstances vote for a Yankee2- I can never under any circumstances vote for a Phillie
3- Only under extreme circumstances may I vote for a Brave
Being an NL fan, it's tough to vote for the AL teams sometimes having not seen most of the players in action. SO I have to rely heavily on stats which never really tell the whole story. I take AVG. into account the most followed by HR, RBIs, R and then SB.
This is the first time in the history of ever that my ballot doesn't include David Wright. I'm one of the biggest homers around but I just couldn't do it. Mainly because he's hurt and wouldn't be able to play anyways. Actually, 100% because he's hurt and wouldn't be able to play anyways.

Chase Headley? Man, I know all the good third basemen are hurt, but I'd rather have Murphy at third than Chase Headley. What about Aramis Ramirez? Other than that and Beltran, I think my NL ballot was basically the same as yours. If Reyes doesn't beat out Tulo that would be a travesty.
ReplyDeleteI think Headley's AVG sold me on him. Ramirez's AVG was just too low for me and didn't have the power numbers to justify it. I could be COMPLETELY wrong though and thinking of someone else cuz I'm too lazy to look at the stats right now.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, it is alright, neither of us knew that Ramirez would be on fire since I wrote that post.
