All AL West Team

by Sorbo182 on Oct 16, 2007 8:16 PM PDT Comment 25 comments

im not sure if people will think this is a fun cool idea, or a really lame and time wasting one, but i think its kinda cool, i was bored in math class today and started thinking about all division teams. kind of like all stars but just for divisions, so there would be 6 teams total. so i was wondering who would make the all al west team. mine would look like this:

LF raul ibanez
CF ichiro
RF guerrero
3B figgins
SS young
2B kendrick
1B kotchman
C johjima
DH anderson
starting pitcher-lackey or haren (toss up)
closer-putz

Johjima?

Oh Hell no-jima.

Mathis has better speed/defense, Salty (Tex) has better offense (upside), and Suzuki is apparently the second coming of Jesus to Oakla... excuse me, Fremont fans.

If were going off potential

Youd better put Felix above Lackey/Haren.

i agree with that. that guy pretty much was the only reason they scored runs for a lot of games.

What a difference a day makes!

What happened to the closer you would take for 10 more years "just like last year", the ALMIGHTY FRANCISCO RODRIGUEZ?????

Cabrera should've been a

MLB all-star and he can't make this team?

a Red Sock in an Angel uni?

or just cold against his old mates?

Attending a losing Angel game is better than a winning day at work

My team

C Johjima
1b Kotchman
2b Ellis (defense counts)
ss Cabrera (defense again)
3b Figgins
lf Anderson (for last year, going forward I'd take Swisher)
cf Ichiro
RF Vlad
DH Cust
SP Lackey
RP K-Rod (Putz is just a Putz)

If I went to war and could only take one weapon, it would be an HK47.

I guess the support for Frankie was

a One Night Stand????

Where are all the boosters from 2 days ago, when Putz was just a Putz?

Looks like some serious "changing of allegiance" here, virtually overnight! Frankie out - Putz in?

He was one of the top 3 in MLB remember?? And "Frankie is in the top ten percent of ALL players in ALL of baseball". (Rev H.)

"15 teams in baseball would pay $10 million for
that "down" year - and four years just like it". (Rev. H) But....I guess he's not good enough for the AL West All Stars!

Hypocrites.

Dude it is the best player by position

for the year.

Not a career award

ARod. It should be pretty apparent now Bill.

i didn't even post a line-up

but if i did, you can bet frankie's my closer.

i don't know where this sudden outburst came from but don't call me a hypocrite.

Whatta Say?

I make comments about trading Frankie and everyone is in shock, but yet when asked for the All American League West team he doesn't make it. Others claim he is untouchable.
Hell, he wouldn't make the Central or the East would he? Not over Jonathan Papelbon, and not over Joe Nathan. Nathan 1 save in 4 season prior to being acquired in trade with another pitcher that is not bad.

I guess arte blew it not hiring you as GM then

damn.

Why is this concept so hard?

An all AL West team is based on 2007 performances not career performances

ARod. It should be pretty apparent now Bill.

are you and socalangelfan the same person?

All AL-West Team '07

C: Johjima (weak crop)
1B: uh..Kotchman (very weak crop)
2B: Kendrick (if he hadn't have gotten injured...twice was it?...he'd have the best offensive stats on the team, IMO).
SS: Cabrera (Young was fine, but he had a weak first half, Cabrera was solid all year).
3B: Beltre (tough choice...Figgins came on strong but he missed time with injury and was terrible for a spell).
LF: Ibanez (even taking into account his atrocious defense and terrible slumps at the plate, he still managed to drive in 105 runs)
CF: Ichiro.
RF: Vlad.
DH: Cust (1st non Angel/Mariner...)

SP John Lackey
SP Kelvim Escobar
SP Dan Haren
SP King Felix
SP Jered Weaver

CL Putz
