If you’ve been to a game recently, you know it’s time for the MLB version of the annual beauty pageant known as the All-Star game. Just like Miss America, the players are supposed to be judged on their overall performance…kind of like the talent part of America’s favorite pageant. The problem is the ladies with the best swimsuit performance often beat out someone with a brain. On the RotoExperts All-Star team, we’ll have no Miss Teen South Carolina who can’t find the U.S.A. on the map or for that matter string a sensible sentence together. That means all you Papi fans, take note. Although he’s the sexiest smasher in baseball, we’ll take a pass when it comes to performance. Our team is made up of the players who actually have earned the right to be called All-Stars for your fantasy team. Sadly, we won’t be able to elevate Cliff Lee, Ervin Santana or Daisuke Matsuzaka since the managers get their pick of the litter. Don’t ask us why it’s done that way; we're just the pencil pushers. We’re going to take a shot at who the fans will select, and then tell you who we’d pick, based strictly on their performance so far this season. Below is our American League picks. .jpg "Image")

 Icon SMI It’s May? Where the hell did the time go? It seems like yesterday I was busy crunching numbers, working on player projections, and counting the days until pitchers and catchers reported. My buddies and I were lofting barley pops and, with guarded optimism, waxing philosophic about the new look Devil…er, Rays team that would take the field sans the troublesome Elijah Dukes and enigmatic spoiled brat Delmon Young. |
