Official MLB All-Star Thread (?)

[MikeO]

I'm a big Liriano guy, I think the Twins could make a playoff run because of him and Santana. I don't think he's better than Halladay or Santana or even Harden if he's ever healthy but he'd be in my top 5.

1) If they make the playoffs they will win the whole thing.

2) I can't see them making hte playoffs in that division. Just too far behind and too much ground to make up, even for the wild card.

3) Harden?????? NO!

 

[Nappy Roots]

No way man, check the stats. Loretta has better stats than all of those guys.

Cano is hitting for a higher avg, higher OPS, more HRs.

Roberts has a higher OPS, is behind only 1 RBI and has 17 more SBs than him.

not to mention both of these guys have alot less ABs


Belliard and Tad have more HRs RBIs higher OPS

Loretta is better than Cano and Roberts, your off base there. But the other 2 guys you got a small case. Small, but a case nontheless.

If Cano and Roberts had the same amound of ABs as Loretta, they would have much better #s

1.) I'm not sure about that. Santana seems to disappear in the ALDS, you should know that first hand.

2.) Probably right but they have been playing very well lately.

3.) Dude check out his numbers, when he's healthy he's extremely good. His problem is he's never healthy.

but they don't. And for an ALL STAR game you can only go by the numbers UP UNTIL TODAY.

Loretta on the squad I have no problem with. Starting over Lopez, ehhhhhh, small problem. But not the worst thing I have ever seen.

I'm a big fan of both Cano and Roberts. I think they're both very good. Cano deserved to make the team. Roberts doesn't. Belliard has been bad all year, although his numbers don't show it. He's very hot and cold and just recently has been hot making his numbers better than they are.

Tad couldn't make the team on principal. You can't have 20 White Sox guys on the team.

I wouldn't say that Johan disappears. 2 years ago he was very good in his two outings.

I can't see the Twins making a run unless the ChiSox or the Tigers cool off. BUt I will agree with Mike O; if they do make it, they'll win it all. 2 of the most dominating starters this year, the best hitter this year, a great young slugger, and a reliable closer.

His post season numbers: 10 appearances, 4 starts record of 1 and 3 (0-3 starting, his only win came in 2002 in relief), 4.50 ERA, 26 innings, 30 hits, 13 earned runs, 9 walks, 24 K's. It's not bad but not Santana like either. Who knows thought what he'll give you, he's the best in the bigs hands down and those Yankee teams had very good hitting.

Most deserving pitcher Bronson Arroyo.
