You have Davis at first and in the OF.

I meant Adam Jones in the outfield.

I'd go Ortiz at DH in the AL, but other than that, can't complan.....No way should Votto start over Goldschmidt.

I could make the argument for Ortiz. Thought hard about it.

Position players are easy to pick for all star game. What pitchers should be taken.

I would take Craig right now over Voto so far.

Based on what?

 

Let's compare the #'s:

Allen Craig: .310 avg, .351 OBP, 6 HR, 55 RBI in 70 games..... (.800 OPS)

Joey Votto: .324 avg, .438 OBP, 12 HR, 35 RBI in 74 games.... (.945 OPS)

 

Craig has driven in 20 more RBI's (which is a huge difference), but Votto is significantly outperforming Craig in virtually every other offensive category.

It brings up a legitimate question: Do Cardinal fans legitimately fear Jay Bruce at the plate now more than the do Votto?

 

Maybe I'll start that thread...

Of course not, because Votto has proven to be a much better hitter over the course of his career.
