Yeah, I went back and looked at the last ones you posted, and Hornsby & O'Neill seemed to have their All-Star spots locked down pretty tightly.

The Reds would like to push the candidacy of Big Klu.

Would you put Klu ahead of Rose? There's a good chance they both make it. Luque is probably the #1 starter for the West.

I should be able to post an updated stat sheet later tonight.

Jorge - I won't have up to date stats until tomorrow, but it won't change my nominations for the East squad.
Locks:
Honus Wagner (SS)
Andrew McCutchen (CF)
Barry Bonds (LF)

You're the captain, captain.

Bagwell and Nolan Ryan are my Astros noms.

I think I'll stick with Rose as the initial second choice from the Reds. Klu is probably gonna make it though. He's got friends in high places from being on the '59 Sox.

Thank you, sir.

Joe Morgan may be an option as well from CIN, especially because 2B often has slim pickings.

Jorge should consider:
Avila, Cobb, Cash, Kaline, Trout and Zumaya (no way they all make it)

True, but we've got Rogers Hornsby out west, and he's hitting like .450.

Pedro, Yaz, Manny, and maybe Varitek are my Red Sox noms, chud can chime in with any he has.

Looking through my box scores here are some Rangers and Royals to consider. With my best players so far IMHO so far bolded....

Rangers-
Rusty Greer
Pudge Rodriguez
Josh Hamilton
Adrian Beltre
Gaylord Perry


Royals-
Carlos Beltran
Frank White
George Brett
Bret Saberhagen
Wade Davis

Thanks.

Alright, looks like the 16 automatics for the West team will be...

CHC - Wilson, Sosa
CWS - Appling, Jackson
CIN - Luque, Rose
HOU - Bagwell, Ryan
KC - Brett, Davis
SEA - Griffey, Sasaki
STL - Hornsby, O'Neill
TEX - Rodriguez, Perry

I'll change the lineups around for the games (if Skitch is still planning to run a series of them) so that we can try to get most guys into a game. But for ceremonial purposes, this is the default All-Star team and game one starting lineup...

1. Appling - SS
2. Brett - 3B
3. Hornsby - 2B
4. Sosa - RF
5. Jackson - LF
6. Wilson - CF
7. Bagwell - 1B
8. Rodriguez - C
9. Luque - P

This is subject to change, but unlikely.

Do you still want to do voting for the final spots, Skitch?

lol. Rose at 3B.

Yeah, I just changed that. You moved him cause he was making tons of errors, right? I should probably have a Royal starting anyways, since they're 16-10. I'll put Brett there.

Yeah, he had like 7 errors in the first 18 games.

I wonder if I should drop an OF for Griffey so that every team has at least one All-Star starter.
