2009 IBC All Star Game

Cardinals · Post by **Cardinals** » Tue Jun 30, 2009 5:29 pm

By the end of this week or so, if everybody could look over their rosters and post guys to be nominated for the all star game, that would be cool. We'll do something with it again this year, vote on the starters then the managers choose the rest of the rosters.

Pirates · Post by **Pirates** » Tue Jun 30, 2009 6:33 pm

Ill throw out 3 guys names from the Rockies

Chien-Ming Wang........6-1 2.72 era 3 CG 1 SHO
Jermaine Dye..............348\403\655 19hrs 57 RBI
Grady Sizemore..........336\451\627 14hrs 37rbi

Padres · Post by **Padres** » Tue Jun 30, 2009 6:34 pm

The White Sox will nominate OF Nelson Cruz hitting .281/.355/.548 with 20 HR, 58 Runs, 60 RBIs and 10 SB as well as 2B Alexi Ramirez hitting .278/.300/.472 with 17 HR, 54 Runs, 55 RBIs and 11 SB.

Understanding the non-closers are rarely selected I would still point out that JP Howell has been lights out with a 38/14 K/BB in 28.1 IP resulting in a 0.32 ERA and 0.92 WHIP while earning 6 holds and 1 save.

Finally, though he has not been a member of the Pale Hose very long, CL Bobby Jenks has been 5 for 5 in save opportunities helped by his 8/3 K/BB in 8.1 IP and 0.60 WHIP.

I am not nominating either pitcher - just sort of saying "Thanks boys for a job well done!"

Yankees · Post by **Yankees** » Tue Jun 30, 2009 7:16 pm

Royals will nominate:
Chipper Jones - 3b - .343/.433/.528, 12 hr, 59 rbi - just amazing
Milton Bradley - of - .316/.407/.523, 13 hr, 54 rbi - certainly a LOT better in the IBC, but coming around in the MLB
Mike Napoli - c - .226/.303/.472, 18 hr, 46 rbi - obviously the average isn't quite there, but the power sure is
Josh Willingham - 1/2 DH - .404/.480/.807, 11 hr, 33 rbi, 109 ab's - SICK!
Jim Thome - 1/2 DH - .280/.415/.600, 14 hr, 35 rbi, 150 ab's - SICK!
AND...
Jiosh Thomeingham - .332/.449/.687, 25 hr, 68 rbi in 259 ab's - SUPER SICK!

Jesse Carlson - 4-2, 1.35 era, 33.1 ip, 27 h, 26 k - huge step up for me
Brian Fuentes - 2-1, 2.48 era, 15 sv, 36.1 ip, 23 h, 48 k - just an absolute thrill to have at the end of games for me
Doug Davis - 6-1, 3.12 era, 75 ip, 72 h, 53 k - taking the ball and beating the likes of Lincecum and Halladay

Giants · Post by **Giants** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 2:32 am

We'll nominate:

JD Drew .290/.405/.524 15 HR 41 RBI
Fred Lewis .313/.384/.541 9 HR 49 R 27 RBI (he's the leadoff man and he has Vizquel batting in front of him, not so many RBI opps)
Gil Meche 8-6 3.83 ERA 1.03 (second in league) WHIP 5.1 K/BB (leads league) .630 OPS against (second in the league)

and of course, the reigning and defending Cy Young award winner Mark DiFelice, 10-4 3.26 ERA 1.16 WHIP 4.2 K/BB
