Plus nomar can act as a backup ss for a game

And 3rd base too. Since its in the NL, he could pinch hit and then leave the game too.

 

[Nappy Roots]

stat wise he doesnt match up. Instances like that him being 4th this year in fan voting are why people whine about fan voting. His stats stink compared to andruw and the other reserve of's. Fans vote for who they like not who deserves it

who was the NL OF reserves?

 

[Nappy Roots]

Nomar is leading the NL in batting, and even missed about 20 to 25 games in the beginning of the year. He's been great all year and although he doesn't have the HRs, Howard or Berkman do, he's been just as good if not better. The NL has 4 3rd basemen on the team, so why not 4 1B man.

true...

 

[Ray Finkle]

Carlos Lee, Matt Holiday, Andruw Jones and I might have missed a guy or too. Lance Berkman could play the OF two if needed.

I hope so, he deserves it.

Nick Swisher not on the ballot is a bigger joke.

 

[King Felix]

ichiro should do the HR derby. im not jokin either. he jacks out every one in bp.

 

[Nappy Roots]

I hope so, he deserves it.

Nick Swisher not on the ballot is a better joke.

nah not really. i could argue Crawford deserves it over him.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Swisher started off very hot and has been cooled down lately, but you could make that arguement.

 

[King Felix]

what devil ray is on the team? kazmir?

 

[Nappy Roots]

ichiro should do the HR derby. im not jokin either. he jacks out every one in bp.

ive always wanted to see it actually. id bet he do really good

 

[ChambersWI]

ok, where is the love for Carl Crawford? IMO the last guy in the AL should be either Hafner or Liriano, the NL- Nomar or Young

 

[King Felix]

ive always wanted to see it actually. id bet he do really good

he would. he hit a hr today and yesterday in games :yes:. but i dont want it to ruin his swing.
