Never really thought about Mountcastle making it but when I did my voting was like he is right there because 1st base is one of weaker positions in todays game.  

Which is crazy because 1B has historically been one of the strongest positions and most difficult to crack the All Star team at.

I think the Orioles have a player in the top 5 at each position. Mateo is 4th at 2B, O’Hearn is 4th at DH, Cowser is 7th in OF.

O'Hearn is definitely within striking distance as a DH.

No real head scratchers among the leaders, maybe Stanton but he's got 17 HR.

Connor Wong won't break the Rutschman-Perez duo at C but he should be doing better than 8th place.  Jarren Duran is nowhere to be found in the OF results; looks like Red Sox fans aren't voting this year.

Devers is the biggest threat to unseat an Oriole and I'm a little surprised he's behind Westburg but both are deserving as is Jose Ramirez.  Tough to leave one off.

I did not realize how good a season Steven Kwan is having.  If he had more playing time he'd be in the MVP conversation.

Pretty healthy lead for Gunnar and Adley too.  I'm especially surprised by Gunnar's 200K ish lead over Witt Jr.  Funny coincidence (though not surprising) that 2nd place is a Royal at both positions also.

Yeah I was surprised when I first voted how easy it was to justify a vote for Mountie, as more than just a 'because he's an O' type vote - he actually might be the most deserving among the candidates.

I definitely feel so proud voting for all of the O’s this year.

    • I get your point, but the issue isn’t losing a few games, but that two of our pitchers(Suarez and Irwin) have apparently regressed to their mediocre mean, and are no longer dependable, leaving us with two useable starters and huge question marks in Kremer and Povich, AND still one short. The bullpen, despite lofty MLB Rankings, isn’t reliable, and we have nothing, nothing, in the minors. Will we pray that McDermott is the second coming of Nolan Ryan, who walked everyone in sight but was ok anyway? We have already lost 14-11 and 10-8. We have excellent offense, and can have better if Mike would end his love affair with Hays and Mullins, but Mike seems reluctant to make any major trades, and Burnes trade aside, that’s been his MO since we got over .500. The fear is that unless he does something significant, we will slowly sink. The question is whether Mike thinks we won’t sink enough to miss October.
    • I thought the 4-32 was 2008 so I went it looked it up, looks like that one was “only” 6-28 after being 62-65 on Aug 20. No shortage of late season collapses for this club. 
    • Other teams know exactly what we need. Mike does too. The idea he needs to wait another month to decide what he needs is pretty silly. And the idea that the price will be better a month from now instead of today is also pretty silly. The price will probably be higher, but it won’t be lower. waiting does nothing except minimize the impact of anyone we pickup.
    • The Orioles had clawed their way back to a .500 record preceding the 4-32 collapse in 2002. I went to the first game that kicked off the losing streak. Looking back at it now it was clearly fool's gold with that roster expecting them to be a good team. But after several down year's O's fans were hungry for a winning team. Little did we know the wait last another decade.
    • Understood, but I wasn’t referring to your comment, but to his. He failed to get anyone useful.
    • Yeah that was pretty epic, even for an already losing season. Or were they barely in contention? I conveniently can't remember. 2017? Nope, but that was pretty bad too. After a 7-game win streak to the end of August, they were 8 games back, but then lost 22 of 29 to finish 18 games out.
    • Westburg has the potential to have a Jeff Kent like career offensively with his ability shown so far to hit for good batting average and home run power.
