Who do you guys have this year?

I looked at the NL 3rd basemen and wanted to vote none of the above. Did I overlook anybody there?

The Orioles fan in me voted for Jones and Wieters. A Cabrera should be the AL SS, but he won't get voted in.

*checks watch* It's still May.

I don't even look at the ballot until June 1st and I'll end up putting a vote in a day or two before the deadline.

I have a huge pet peeve with the ballot opening in April :angryfire:

The thing I hate the most is that the roster choices are set so early. Theres players on there who don't start the season or you could have a guy who switched to LF and ends up playing 152 games there but he was the 1B on the ballot.

I usually vote once or twice towards the end of voting. I did do a punch ballot at OPACY last Sunday.

For your question, at 3B in the NL I picked Casey McGehee.

Chipper's been good, I'll probably pick him when I sit down and look it over.

That's what I ended up doing. But it was simply based on reputation and the fact that no other third basemen are really doing anything. Hell, I could have gone with Melvin Mora.

I have McGehee on my fantasy team. He's been really frustrating for me this season.

I'd like to see Adam Jones in centerfield, Nick Markakis in right, Felix Pie in left, Wieters catching, Hardy at short, Derek Lee at first base, B-Rob at second base, and Mark Reynolds at 3rd base. I'd like Zach Britton to be chosen as the starting pitcher, but have him decline the selection so as to keep all of his innings pitched for the Orioles in the regular season.

Well it's June 1st and I just did a little looking into how long I have before polls close.

June 30th, Midnight.

This is crazy, IMO polls should be opening now if they don't need results until June 30th. Being an "All Star" goes on your baseball resume and stands out for decades to come. It's bad enough to be decided by only half a season but MLB's format makes it probable that those with 1 hot month will get a nod. They need to fix this. This isn't 1975 when fax machines were brand spanking new. If we have the ability to vote via mobile, this generation will vote quickly enough to withstand a shorter polling period. GET WITH THE 21st CENTURY!! FIX THIS MLB!!!

      I don't think the Japanese dude wants to sign a contract in our major leagues to be an optional right-handed reliever.  Pretty sure he thinks he's better than that, otherwise, what's the point in coming over here.  Plus, I would think he wants more money than you might pay for an optional right-handed reliever, no?

      The Marlins are not trading a guy who would be a highly sought after guy for a top 75 prospect, a one year expensive (for them) rental player and essentially a throw in vet in Urias.  That’s laughable.    Even if the Marlins really value the bat of Santander, that trade would get blown away by many other teams.

      Hopefully Ohtani ends up in the NL. How crazy would this be if he didn’t get injured?

      Hyde on the playoff loss: “it hasn’t eased for me”

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Love Hyde. It hasn’t eased for me either. Bradish and Grayson got much needed exposure to the playoffs. Looking back on the juggernaut that Bradish faced… was that actually a “good” playoff start?  Grayson has all the humbling fuel to have a big offseason and learn to become a true #1.

      Is Luzardo a realistic target?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      A Kimbrel signing would tell me that we’re out on Luzardo, and Cease. Wells as a SP. Why give up one of Westburg, Holliday, Mayo, Basallo, Cowser, or Kjerstad? I wouldn’t doubt if Santander, Urias, and Ortiz, was our actual best offer. Kimbrel as closer puts us where we were at the end of September. Wells should be able to build upon his really strong 1st half by able to go another 30-50 IP as a strong SP. I’d feel comfortable if we added Robertson too. The time to get aggressive is at the deadline. I doubt Elias and Co. chose Flaherty over Montgomery. Seems like his hands were tied over Montgomery costing more money the rest of the way. $4 million ish. Elias just knows what to expect this deadline and to leave himself some wiggle room.

      They need to add the ability to trade picks other than the awarded comp picks.

      IMO Bradish, Grayson, Means, Kremer, Wells Kimbrel, Cano, Webb, Baumann, Baker Coloumbe, Perez, Irvin AAA - Hall, Tate, Zimmerman, Akin It makes a lot of sense. We could bring in the Japanese reliever to have optionable depth on the RH side. We could sign Robertson. We wouldn’t have to trade a big piece for Luzardo/Cease.
