Utley, not too familar with him but 2b seems to be a very horrible position, stats wise.

Utley is easily the best all-around second baseman in baseball. I know I'm biased as a Philly guy, but here is is among all 2B:

.303 BA (7th)
.375 OBP (4th)
.542 SLG (1st)
.917 OPS (1st)
8 HR (1st)
26 RBI (2nd)

Plus he has good speed and a pretty good glove.

I don't know much about Jason Bay but looking at his stats, they aren't all that impressive this year, .265, 6 HR, 20 RBIs, 4 SB and he plays LF (correct me if I'm wrong). He's there instead of Jones who is the yearly Golden Glove Winner + 2nd in the MVP vote who is batting .294, 9 HRs and 39 RBI and 3 SB...Hmmmm...

Giles is batting .273 with 3 Hrs and 21 RBis, over Vlade, Blake (Cleveland), Ichiro, Mags, etc.

Utley, not too familar with him but 2b seems to be a very horrible position, stats wise.

Uh, Jason Bay was the fourth most valuable player last year and extremely +++ on defense.

EDIT: And you think Utley is bad because of what, 30 games of the 2006 season? Jesus.

Is Bay + Manny better than Bay + Jones when defense is factored in?

there is no way the current incarnation of Bonds belongs on this team, even at DH.

Not a big fan of On Base Percentage, eh?

Re: MLB theoretical All-Star team
 

How is Bonds this year better than Jason Giambi or even Derrek Lee?

Re: MLB theoretical All-Star team
 

So he plays in front of Jones who was 2nd in the MVP, has better stats and is a better defender? Hmmm...makes sense.

Re: MLB theoretical All-Star team
 

Very good numbers. Just said I'm not familar.

Aliens will take one look at Bond's numbers this year and realize that walking him all the time is stupid.

Plus he can't run the bases anyway.
