How are you backing up your statement that Lozano should make it? Just curious.

I would probably look at him the same way if he was on my team.Knights wrote:Just his 1.29 ERA and 4 saves since taking over for Douglass. Plus his WHIP is 0.89 and he has struck out 27 in 28 innings. I am probably seeing him through "Rose Colored Glasses" because he has been the best reliever I have had
Coal Sox wrote:Well, let's take the previous race I mentioned - IL SS. George Riley leads virtually every category except SLG and HR. He's got a VORP of 30, and the second-best VORP is 15.2. That's the race in a nutshell. Yet somehow Ángel Zarate and Miguel Soto received votes. Compare:
Riley: 318/478/436
Zarate: 223/362/299
Soto: 281/348/406
How in the world?
Other bizarre votes include people leaving Hancock off the ballot (he's #1 in the SL. I could see thinking he's #2, #3, maybe even #4, but not even top five?), Rex Groves, Bernardo Marin, etc.
I understand some of us evaluate players differently. But usually differing evaluation systems agree on the extremes: everyone can tell who the best players are, and everyone can tell the worst. But the All-Star voting here looks so weird I'm considering writing an article about it.
