I got Alicia Sacramone

Olney is about to do his AL snub, I assume it's Lackey or Longoria.


And he picks....

Jermaine Dye. Hmm. I think Danks is a bigger snub, but Dye got robbed too.

After looking over the roster again, I'm still shocked that Guzman and Varitek made it.


Yeah yeah, I know that Varitek is a Red Sox so he's a lock to get a shitload of votes but just.. Goddamn.
Guzman is in because there has to be one player from every team...
You're telling me he deserved it more than Rauch?
Absolutely. Rauch has done well as the default closer, but Guzman has been, far and away, the Nationals' best player all year. It's not even close. And, since his Lasik in the offseason, he's been a completely different player. I'm waiting for the Nats to announce a contract extension any day.

Huh, I never even heard he went under the Lasik surgery.

If we're going to talk about flukey players.. If someone can bitch about Ludwick, a guy can bitch about Cristian Guzman. :turned:

Why would you give a mediocre, 30-year old SS a contract extension when you're trying to rebuild? I'm not sure about the Nats prospect situation at SS, but I wouldn't do it.

And I disagree. Jon Rauch has been better.

Rauch has been arguably a top5 closer in the NL.

See, you guys haven't watched Rauch on an everyday basis. He's such a freaking rollercoaster. He's been more lucky than good.

And as for Guzman getting an extension, it's coming. They don't have any real options at short anywhere in the system (Ian Desmond is a huge question mark right now) and he's only 30.

Like I said, the Lasik (something a good beat writer finds out) seems to be the thing that got him past his own question mark stage. He used to show flashes of being successful and then would look mediocre other times. Now he's playing the way he can see.

Here's something I wrote on him earlier this year: http://www.insidenova.com/isn/sports/high_school_prep/article/guzman_finds_his_groove_this_season/14522/

Has he really gotten any better though? He's been practically average this year, and you could attribute last year's success to the smallish sample size.

im fucking speechless about the Griffey snub.:(
Snub.....seriously? :rotfl:
Wasn't Griffey in the top 3 in OF at one point?
Yes, he was. I don't know what RTT is laughing about? :huh:
I'm laughing about the fact that he's focusing on the idiotic voters (basically everyone) and not on the fact that Griffey didn't deserve to make it in front of many, including Braun.

It just flew over his head like always.
I think he was just asking that?
I think he was trying to imply that he got robbed. He would ask in a post that had nothing to do with the said quote, if not.
Um, no... :confused:

I was asking because I thought it was odd that he got passed in one day, when he was in the Top 3 yesterday. So I thought I might have been mistaken.

Griffey didn't get snubbed, Matt Holliday got snubbed in terms, he should be starting and not Braun.

Word. Ryan Braun has no business on that AS team. I can think of about 10 OF that deserve it more (including guys like Mclouth and Ludwick).
