Lee has already matched Castro in RBIs this year… in 70 fewer ABs too

Gotta trade Siri and Odo for a strong bat to fill in right now then. Probably need a new C and 1B. Bregman needs to lay off the family time too so he can carry the lineup.


Surely Siri and Odo with his performance this season and contract will merit more than one strong bat. Probably should package some other underperforming pieces for a second strong bat if Siri and Odo can't get it done.

I bet we could get 2 (if not 3) all stars for Siri alone

So they select an OFer in Stanton who doesn't really play the OF. Who is hitting .232.

Yeah. Sure.

A's offense is bottom of the barrel, but you can't do any better than 7.0 shutout no matter who you're facing, so well done Odo.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I don't think Tucker earned the All-Star position. Pena and Stanek both earned the bid.


With Pujols out of the league they only had to make room for Miguel Cabrera. Obviously if Pujols is still on the Angels then Tucker hasn't earned the bid.

Nice work today Odo. That's how you eat dog day innings. Seven shutout.

Mark Kotsay deserves some manager of the year votes for getting 29 wins out of this Triple A team he's got.

This seems like it was a big year for names. Vladdy Jr, George and Bichette all made it and none of them are having massive all star level years.

They both split time between outfield and DH. I don't see why one was on the ballot in the outfield and the other at DH.
I think the DH spot should just be the highest vote getter that didn't make it at their position.

It's uncommon for a reliever that isn't a closer to make the all-star team.

Buxton has 22 HR and an OPS+ just higher than Tucker's. BA is an antiquated stat.

I was thinking the same thing during this series. .205 is the median BA of their lineup today and the best average is .239. How in the hell do they have 29 wins?

Devo and Harris both made it in that non closer role.

.215 is just too low --- regardless of the counting numbers.

what if he were hitting .205 or .195 --- still an all-star?
