1. Banta Posted: July 08, 2012 at 11:01 AM (#4176045)Brendan Ryan leads all shortstops in bWAR this season.
Even more shocking, I think, is that Ryan's slashline is good for .6 oWAR.
You can't? Did they change the rule at some point? I remember Billy Martin let Rich Rhoden hit and using the DH for someone else. Time to google to check my memory...
edit: Rick Rhoden STARTED as the DH in that game.
Rickie Weeks: 2011 All-Star

Ozzie Guillen: 1988, 1990, 1991 All-Star
weeks also has walked a lot.
if his luck normalizes weeks will likely hit .350 in the second half

That's not really all of it. His BABIP is .262, compared to .305 for his career, so he's been a little unlucky, but if it was .305 he'd still only be hitting .219. His BABIP the last two years was .327; give him that and it would push him to just .233. Other problems: he's striking out almost 30% of the time and not hitting for the same power. The walk rate is nice, but the rest sucks, and as a result, Weeks sucks.
he homered friday and again today.
rickie has a career batting line of .250/.350/.425
right now he's at .195/.312/.341
he plays 70 games and hits around .320 in the second half and everything ends up normal
you need to have some faith big fella
Agree, but he's by far is the most entertaining. Whether it's anti-all star or the real all star game, he should be there.
I do think a few of these names don't belong(Marlon Byrd?) shouldn't the requirement be that you are a starting player, for you to qualify as an anti-all star?
almost to .200
Edit: His K rate is fine, the BB rate is way up. More likely the elbow, then, I guess.
Seeing him pitch against the Pirates today, Lincecum just looks skinny even compared to his old skinny self. It's not easy to add weight in the places you need it, so I don't know what he has left, but I think the Giants should be looking to fill that spot in the rotation.
Also this year, RH hitters are hitting him hard (a departure from his career) and he's getting murdered on the road.
As long as his K rate continues to be excellent and he's not gone all Steve Blass, I'll believe. But there are three options:
1. He's hurt in some way.
2. He's slipped as a pitcher.
3. He's finished as a pitcher.
4. Nothing is really wrong and he'll rebound.
I'm betting on #4.
Pennington was the first guy I thought of.
He doesn't have to hit a lot to be a good player, but he's got to hit SOMEthing. His OBP is down, slugging is way down.... just... eh.
Ugly.
Even so, 1.7 WAR in a half-season is pretty darn good and puts him 4th in the AL (Andrus, Cabrera and, ahem, Aviles).
Finally, something the Padres have a chance to be first in! Woo-hoo!
But I'm not bitter...
