I agree with all of these, except:

Carlos Lee - I'd put in Brad Hawpe or Eric Byrnes instead
Carlos Guillen - This is a fine choice, I'm merely pointing out there are a LOT of AL SS candidates worthy of starting IMO

I was heavily considering Hawpe and Byrnes. But Lee's power numbers did it for me.

IMO, there are several great SS's in AL (Jeter, Tejada, Young etc), but Guillen has a slight edge over them.

lololololol not having Magglio in the AL OF

[/ QUOTE ]

He shouldn't be. AS Game should be more than who's having the best 7 weeks. Consistency should be rewarded.

Is this a strange use of sarcasm or just "the sun revolves around the earth" style idiocy?

Who do you sit for Magglio?

Also, Orlando Cabrera @ ss for AL

.342/48runs/22 doubles/38 RBI and I'm not going to look this up but I heard he has the best fielding % or range or some silly stat number of the 'good' ss.

Any of them? Particularly Sizemore. Given the disparity in numbers, he'd have to be a better fielder than Magglio by a huge margin.

Anyway, most of my indignation resulted from the claim that Magglio has only had a hot 7 weeks, when he's been batting very well pretty much all year, although he has been outright sick in June.

He is.

But you're right, Magglio has had a ridiculous offensive year. Probably because I dropped him from one of my fantasy teams after two weeks of 0 for 3 billion on April 15.

There is pretty much no good reason Sizemore should sit, especially because of his "web gems" on TV every damn night. (He's toolsy but not necessarily the greatest CF. Probably about average.)

Torii Hunter is not better than Grady Sizemore. Magglio Ordonez pretty much has to be in the outfield due to his absolutely ludicrous numbers so far.
