All Star Snubs... - Page 5

Which Snub disgusts you the most?

Mine is Orlando Cabrera--SS--LA Angels.

Not only is he not going to start the AS Game, but he may not even be there. His numbers at the plate are equal if not better than Jeters'.

OC--Avg...338 5 HR OBP .835 RBI 48
Jeter Avg...335 5 HR OBP .408 RBI 38

Fielding

OC --.998 4 errors (#1 in the league)

Jeter--.966 12 errors

I'm so irritated by the voting process and all these talking heads saying that Jeter should be the starter...

I was with you until you said this. There is a distinction between, "weak range" and "knows what the hell he's doing." Remember the playoff game versus Oakland where he flipped the weak outfield throw to the plate? Just one example, the guy does know what he's doing.

That, too, is a joke.

Even Baseball Tonight is considering the Cabrera Snub the biggest one--But then again, that was John Kruck or whatever the hell is name is...

Last night before the Tigers-Twins game on Baseball Tonight they ran down the top 10 plays from the day. Jeter was number 1 with a play that was IDENTICAL to Tony Pena Jr's. From what I saw of them, Pena's arm got the ball there on a line and Jeter's had a bit of lollipop to it. But because he's Jeter he gets the top play.

John Maine got snubbed royally. He didn't even make the last 5 vote-in. Ridiculous that he doesn't make the team and Hamels does.

Being an Angels fan, I watched us get swept by you guys, and I have to say, Pena Jr is a VERY good SS. And you're right, Jeter's play was good, but nas good as your Royal SS. But he's Jeter, they like to lick his ass...must taste like chocolate...

, or it could be they are just pandering to the NY fans, as always. There is a bunch of them, has to be good for ratings. Or, maybe the opposite, would be bad for ratings more likely?

Living in Milwaukee and following the Brewers, I think they are right on with their 4 All-Stars. What do you guys think?

Prince Fielder - absolutely deserves to be an all-star, possible league MVP
Francisco Cordero - leading the league in saves w/ 27
Ben Sheets - has been lights out lately, tied for NL lead with 10 wins
J.J. Hardy - cooled off a little after a hot start, but still has good numbers (.284, 18 HR, 51 RBI)

I must be one of the only few non Yankees fans that actually like Jeter. I agree he is overrated, but the guy goes out there and plays hard every day. He always plays at a near all-star level. He is a great club house leader and for someone who is in the NY spotlight all the time he presents himself in a respectful manner.

Is he overrated? Sure.. However he is a great baseball player that does it the right way.

I want to be clear that Jeter is a good player. If me and 29 other GM wannabe's were holding a draft, he's at least a top-5 SS on my board. Defense is generally overrated, and Jeter is a great hitter for a shortstop.

The only point I'm making is that for whatever small bit of importance defense has, Jeter is closer to being the absolute worst everyday defensive shortstop in the last 10 years rather than the best.
