Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel traded to Oakland Athletics for Addison Russell plus

[brett05]

Lol, its ok you look dumber by the post. You have been shown that Castro was voted in by his peers, but its ok. Brett from CCS says you were probably just a replacement because he just thinks it. Hey Brett, still believe the world is flat? Also, I have a bridge I want to sell you. We will talk about it later.

Sure sign a person has lost when they make stuff up and change the subject.

Check and mate.

Alexei Ramirez? AL MVP?

When Silence was spouting about six weeks ago...nvm

 

[brett05]

In this thread what you are doing isn't talking baseball. It's called talking..
.

Example?

 

[brett05]

proof for everyone to see your just on the cubs forum to talk trash, all they have to do is read what you've wrote in the last couple hours on this thread

seriously you really don't think we all see you for what you are ? the only difference between you and the ones that got banned is they claimed to be cubs fans trashing the team and players , we know your a sox fan.

So nothing...:sigh:

I think your in a very small minority who dont think Castro is an AS caliber player..

I really don't care about whether a player is labeled an all star. Theoretically, you could put Abreu at SS and he'll have a good chance at making it as an all star simply because other "SSs" can't touch his power numbers.

Being an all star doesn't mean as much as people seem to want to believe. Half the time short stops are playing out of position. It's steroid era residue.

He does do that. He becomes evasive when you question him.

Forget the AS talk. Why do you think he'll be traded? He's cheap and productive.

Um. SS don't play out of position.

I become evasive when people have no facts and just spurt out random shit. So, Brett I have shown two articles and you have shown nothing but a theory you created with no facts to back you. So, I ask you how was Castro added to the team by player vote after shark was traded when player vote was already in. Also, I would like a factually statement from a source and not because you say so. Also, Castro numbers trump Ramirez across the board still. My comment was you said any team in baseball would take Ramirez over Castro but yet Ramirez has lower obp wobp ops wrc doubles homers slg and almost any number else except avg. but yea, keep going with ya hatred post. I never even ripped on Ramirez. You are the biggest homer ever.

That makes almost no sense. Abreu would have a hard time making a routine play from short. Do you watch baseball at all or ever have watched baseball? I'm sorry, but that post was utterly Special person

You showed articles after the fact. Read what you post.

Five-ish weeks ago Castro had ops like two points higher. You went on about Castro. Castro slumps and Ramirez dominated. Your lack of a memory changes nothing.

Id love for you to once be objective

So, you don't know what you are talking about still. It's funny because you are showing no objectivity just trolling. So, yet again, show me your proof of your ridiculous comments. If you can't, then end the convo

Since it seems fisch is the only one who can read...from your article:

In addition to the starters who were elected by the fans, pitchers and reserve players were named to the All-Star Game rosters by the Player Ballot - a vote of the players, managers and coaches - and by the All-Star Game managers in conjunction with MLB. In making their selections, the managers have ensured that each of the 30 Major League Clubs will be represented in the All-Star Game.

So anyone else could have been named by the manager to fulfill quota.

National League position players who are invited to the 85th*All-Star Game as a result of Player Balloting are catcher*Jonathan Lucroy*of the Milwaukee Brewers; first baseman*Freddie Freeman*of the Atlanta Braves; second baseman*Dee Gordon*of the Los Angeles Dodgers; shortstop*Starlin Castroof the Chicago Cubs; third baseman*Todd Frazier*of the Cincinnati Reds; and outfielders*Giancarlo Stanton*of the Miami Marlins,*Charlie Blackmon*of the Colorado Rockies and*Hunter Pence*of the San Francisco Giants.

Seems like the professionals voted Castro in.

N.L. pitchers who have made the 2014 All-Star Game as a result of the Player Ballot include startersJohnny Cueto*of the Reds;*Adam Wainwright*of the St. Louis Cardinals;*Clayton Kershaw*of the Dodgers;*Madison Bumgarner*of the Giants; and*Jeff Samardzija,*who was traded from the Cubs to the Athletics this weekend. Though Samardzija has been traded to an A.L. Club, he will be considered a member of the N.L. squad and will receive full All-Star honors in Minnesota, but will be inactive for the All-Star Game.*

So the question becomes...did Castro get in because of Jeff's trade? We'll never know.

Now run along

Lol, so you have proved nothing and essentially have no idea what a players vote means. Wow, I have heard some dumb trolling but you just took the cake. Please don't call yourself a baseball fan again. Just call yourself a white sox fan

You refuted nothing. You did confirm your bias

 

[chibears55]

The players for each league's team are selected through the following process:

Fan voting (8 NL players; 9 AL players): Baseball fans vote on the starting position players for the All-Star Game, with ballots distributed at Major League Baseball games before mid-season and, more recently, on the Internet. In games with the designated hitter, the American League DH is also selected in this manner (and the National League DH is selected by the manager). Fan voting has been recently criticized because most of the starting players can come from teams that have large fan bases, such as the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox.[4]

Player voting (16 players): Eight pitchers (five starters and three relievers) and one back-up player for each position are elected by the players, coaches, and managers.[5] If the top vote-getter at a position has also been selected via fan voting, the second-place finisher in this category is selected.

Manager selection (9 NL players; 8 AL players): The manager of each league's All-Star team – in consultation with the other managers in his league and the Commissioner's Office – will fill his team's roster up to 33 players. The NL manager will also select his team's designated hitter.[3] At this point, it is ensured that every team is represented by at least one player.

Final vote (1 player): After the list of 33 players for each league is announced, fans vote (on the Internet) for one additional player, chosen from a list of 5 players that is compiled by the manager of each league's team and the Commissioner's Office.
Replacements: After the roster is selected, the All-Star manager and the Commissioner's Office will replace players who are injured, decline to participate, and pitchers who started on the Sunday before the game.

Which objectively does not speak to this scenario

so, your questioning weather or not castro got in because samardzija was traded ?

assuming your correct and he wasn't voted in by the players but added in by the manager after samardzija was traded, then why wouldn't he of just added Rizzo to take samardzija spot as the team rep ?

Had castro over Rizzo? Greater need at SS than 1b?

I never said I am right. I said it's possible.

Holy ****, it was just laid out and he still can't comprehend it. Amazing!
