"It's an honor just to be on the ballot, for sure, but I'm not naive enough to not understand why," he said, referencing the elbow surgery that kept Wieters from making his 2015 debut until last Friday.

"Wiety's the guy and there's a really good chance that if he started the season, his name is on there. Is it really honoring? Sure, of course, but I know the circumstances dictated that. I appreciate the support from probably a lot of Orioles fans, and there are probably a lot of people in Nashville, Tenn., who are logging on, but I don't want to come across saying it's to be expected. I understand the circumstances involved with it. But it really is an honor.

"It seems like this time last year I was just getting my first full month in the big leagues and still unsure of a lot of things. Then a year later, just to be on an All-Star ballot is pretty cool."

Can you ask for anything better than that?

I agree, Joseph is very humble. And the fact that he's in 5th place in the voting is very fair and reasonable. He ranks 6th in OPS among catchers with at least 125 PA and defensively he has been very solid.

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?

      I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?

      Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.

      Elias: It's on me

      Again, I'm not sure what the point of contention is. They won 91 games and lost in the Wildcard round.  That puts them smack in the middle of what I forecast as their most likely outcome, though I did hope for more playoff success.  I'm not sure how that is proof I misevaluated anything. Further, again, lecturing me about the importance of depth, when I'm one of the biggest hoarders on this board, and you're one of the biggest opposite of that, is ironic to say the least.

      Aaron Judge whined about it so I’m a fan.  The older I get, the more I think people just exist to look for confirmation biases. In all avenues of life. Paul Simon wrote “a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” I’m sure if we beat the Royals and advanced and Walltimore robbed three or four homers from the Royals, we’d be extolling its virtues and how great it is.    But that didn’t happen. If anything, there were a couple instances where, if anything, it worked against us.    So here we are.

      I mean I wouldn’t be concerned about her opinions on which FA to sign or which players are best. But, she’s definitely a big fan and is just passing off info given to her. If it didn’t track into some other things that make sense, I wouldn’t pay it much mind. Of course, someone with an agenda could’ve just told her those things to spread rumors. Maybe Rick Dempsey haha.

      Do you think any team is too stupid to account for home park dimensions when evaluating pitchers?
