Who's your All-Star?

Post by Edgy MD » Wed Jun 05, 2024 10:26 pm

Somebody has to get tapped, and until quite recently, it didn't look like anybody was interested in stepping up.

Still though, the choice is not obvious.

Still though, somebody's got to go.

Lindor despite hitting below 200 for 6 weeks looks like the MetVP to me.

Some of the others have had ups and downs, but Marte has been consistent.

What makes this additionally difficult is that offense is down across the league, and Mets offensive stat lines that seem farcical when considered as an All Star profile may look a little stronger when considered alongside their peers.

They'll want Pete for the Home Run Derby.

A player doesn't have to be selected to the All-Star team to participate in the HR Derby.

I'm the only Baderbooster.

That's OK, I guess, as I've probably mentally changed my vote three times since then.

Severino/Manea seem like the best ones to me, but watch theMets get just one pitcher and he is pitching somewhere else by the time the game is played

This is like choosing between cow dung and horse shit.

Offense has no one that's even close. Alonso might get it because he's a name player with all the home runs. Vientos and Martinez haven't been with them long enough, but they'd be obvious choices if they had a to-date full season under them so far.

Garrett could have been if he kept it up, but his predicable collapse happened so that's a no.

Severino is the only one that I can look at and comfortably say 'yes' to, so he gets my vote.

lindor is our best player. 4th best SS in the league per fWAR, at 2.2 just a shade behind adames at 2.3, with elly de la soul at 2.6 and mookie at 3.5

nimmo, per fWAR, is the 3rd best OF in the league at 1.5, with tatis at 2.1 and profar at 2.4.

severino sits at 19th best pitcher, with 1.1 fWAR. he's sandwiched between mitch keller and jared jones.

Mitch Keller and Jared Jones star this fall in Donovan and Harbaugh!

The fun part, though, is that, as dubious as the listed candidacies above were, they seem to be improving at similar rates, making the competition heated for the right reason, instead of the wrong one.

I'm editing the post to allow vote changing. J.D. Martinez was a pretty questionable candidate when this poll was created, but not so much anymore.

Can I change my vote in our poll? Things have changed over time.

Martinez is playing like an All-Star, but doesn't have the statistical padding, yet, but I might change my vote later on.

Severino still gets my support for now. I think the Mets could actually have more than one representative this season, Martinez and Severino, so it might be worth changing this poll to multiple choice.

Marte is actually putting up numbers that might legitimize a selection, as well, but he hasn't been particularly flashy about it, so he's kind of gone under the radar. We'll see what his numbers look like at the All-Star break, too.

So, my choices right now, in order, would be Severino, Martinez, Marte.

Also, Lindor is currently on pace for another 25-25 season, so if he surges, he could have a case.

Though I've been thrown into the pits of despair with this club, I still have the inkling that they are better than they've performed to date.

Lindor is sure looking like our best candidate at the moment, though.
