2042, All-Star Voting Chatter

[7teen]

I had to double check if it was me on Huber. It wasn't me..haha

I was worried I wouldn't get around to voting or I'd forget so did fall guilty of the "clicking a stat and sort of going with it" I did at least click on saves AND WAR for the relievers and WINS and WAR for the starters and took the top 2 and 3 of each category. haha I've had more time this AM than I expected but I think my ballot is good.

I just cast an All-Star vote for SS Santiago Morales in the UMEBA balloting - a guy I not only benched in Chicago, but unceremoniously cut with another year on his contract (which I just ate). But being the magnanimous guy I am (a quality well known in the Chicago front office), I'm actually glad to see him doing well. Well, sorta glad … a little pissed, actually …

But still, gotta give the devil his due.

While I'm on the subject … I seem to be the only guy who didn't vote for William Hardy for Bancroft SS. I just couldn't vote for a guy with a -7.51 ZR at short. If you're gonna be an All-Star shortstop, I think you've got to at least be able to occasionally get to a ball hit in the hole ...

I confess, in my voting, I wasn't very mindful of fielding and was blinded by nice looking offensive stats.

fair point, but the alternatives can not hit their way out of a paper bag and if you want to be an all-star SS you should be able to put a bat on the ball... The only other worthy bat is even worse in the field than hardy.

I voted for Munoz, who's … well, not good, but at least presentable at the plate, and decent in the field. Not changing the vote, either ...

I voted for two RP's because they had the same name.
