My end-of-season All-Star vote is complete

Of course, I'm not going to share it yet. First, I want to know who would have gotten your vote among the Southern League's best.

MAJOR AWARDS
Vote a first, second and third choice for MVP and list reasons for your No. 1.
Vote a first, second and third for Most Outstanding Pitcher and justify No. 1.
Vote a first, second and third for Manager of the Year and justify No. 1.

ALL-STAR TEAM
Just list a player for these.

1 catcher
1 first baseman
1 second baseman
1 third baseman
1 shortstop
4 outfielders

1 DH (I voted for the top player who didn't get my vote in those first six categories)
1 utility (I voted for the next top player who saw decent time at many positions)

1 "best hustler" (Don't ask me to justify anything on this one)

1 right-handed starting pitcher
1 left-handed starting pitcher
1 relief pitcher

  2. ALL-STAR TEAM
    Just list a player for these.

    1 catcher - John Jaso
    1 first baseman - Javier Brito
    1 second baseman - Diory Hernandez
    1 third baseman - Evan Longoria (Is this possible being in AAA?)
    1 shortstop - Reid Brignac (Only thing he lacks is avg.)
    4 outfielders - Fernando Perez
    - Brent Johnson
    - Xavier Paul
    - Carlos Gonzalez

    I can't watch these guys play living in CA so I only have their stats to go off of.


    1 right-handed starting pitcher - Chris Mason
    1 left-handed starting pitcher - Lindsay Gulin
    1 relief pitcher - Dale Thayer

    My MVP goes to JOHN JASO. This guy deserves more recognition.

  3. OK, here goes (a little "home town" attitude, but all justifiable):

    MVP: Mason, MGM - hate to pick a pitcher for this award, but the Biscuits are 21-5 in his starts, and if they win 2nd half, it will be because they're 11-1 in his 2nd half starts.

    #2 - Jimerson, WTN

    MOP - Mason, MGM (see above)
    #2 - Egbert, BIR
    #3 - Vazquez, MOB

    Mgr - Don Money, Huntsville - he's had his team up there all year
    #2 - Shoemaker, Jax
    #3 - Gardner, MGM


    ALL-STAR TEAM
    C - Jaso, MGM
    1B - Brito, MOB
    2B - Hernandez, MIS
    3B - Longoria, MGM
    SS - Brignac, MGM
    OF - Jimerson, WTN
    OF - Upton, MOB
    OF - Brandon Jones, MIS
    OF - Loadenthal, MIS
    DH - Bonifacio, MOB
    Util - Gaby Martinez, MGM
    Hustler - Badeaux, MGM (31 yrs old, plays everywhere with enthusiasm)

    RHP - Mason, MGM
    LHP - Gio Gonzalez, BIR
    Rel P - Thayer, MGM

  4. Brew said: "Is this possible being in AAA?"

    It is possible. Montgomery's Delmon Young was the league MVP two years ago and he was promoted at the All-Star break.

    I also heavily used stats for my vote. I downloaded every player's stats into a spreadsheet, sorted them by games played and summarily deleted everybody who didn't play in at least 70.

  5. So how long are you going to make us wait to see your votes?

    Doesn't appear as though anyone else will be voting on the blog...
