Braun v Fukudome - VOTE NOW FOR THE ALL-STAR GAME (merged with Braun 4th in All-Star voting)

[pogokat]

in 1989 Andre Dawson was an allstar with a .307 obp, in 91 he was an allstar with a .302 obp

I was wondering stats were at the break, which is obviously tougher to find. Although: Dawson won the MVP with a .790 OPS!?

[MickeyDavis]

Well that's it, if Braun is an all-star I am not watching the game. I won't be able to keep that OBP out of my head. %#*$!%!.

My girlfriend sat on the voting site from 8:45 PM until 10:59 PM voting with every e-mail address she could think of from everyone that was over watching the game. Probably got a good 150-200 votes out. Russell 'The Muscle' '3TO' Manyan was a write-in for 3B for every vote.

[MickeyDavis]

You obviously never explained OBP to her, otherwise she wouldn't have wasted her time.

[mletto157]

I did... but the old saying is true "chicks dig the long ball."

[mark brouhard is number on]

with an obp like that he should not only be out of the all star game, he should be in th eminors or traded. who needs a player like that. trade him for Ryan Theriot, he at least has a .390 OBP, plus he's gritty, which I like

[MickeyDavis]

You can't teach gritty.

[mark brouhard is number on]

gritty battler's are my favorite. here's my dream team, a team of David Eckstein's and Ryan Theriots's. with their OBP and gritty battleness, the Brewers would be unstoppable! Better talk to Doug about that

Uecker and Powell just stated that they heard rumors on Tuesday that Braun overtook Fukudome.

Way to go 8!

Yeah I to heard that today while listening at work. That is sweet, hopefully he just held off Fukudome and for the second straight season can have a starter in the All-Star game. Nice to see the Brewers finally getting noticed.

Espn had 32 baseball analyst pick who they thought should be in the all-star game. Braun was the highest vote getter for NL OF. He had 19 votes (He also got one vote for the DH), Burrell had 16 and Ludwich had 15. The current top 3 vote getters each had one vote. Who voted for Griffey? Link

I find it funny that they have a poll up where you can vote for who you think should be allstar starters. I mean, isn't that what the allstar voting was for...

That doesn't say much for ESPN's analysts.

[Postseason2006]

I didn't know if I should bring this thread to the top or start a new one. Braun's OBP is .451 and his slugging is .571 right now. He definitely should be starting the All-Star game based on his overall totals.

Probably not useful to bring resurrect a thread that hasn't been posted in for nearly a year.
