in general, peer players know more than sportswriters or avid fans, but there are instances where that isn’t the case. vlad owns the rangers, so i’m sure their staff think he’s the toughest out in the game, which he’s clearly not anymore. when determining allstar reserves, players have a tendency to reward veterans for their careers, as do sportswriters and casual fans. these awards are supposed to reward guys who had the best performance over a specific time frame.

no problem with bailey in the AL. lights out. beckham deserved better than 5th, but it shouldn’t matter who’s first or fourth runner up…
i agree with you hanson should’ve won in the NL, but the voters who look at hanson’s 11-4 record (i know, not the best way to evaluate a pitcher) hold the fact that he only made 21 starts after being called up in the middle of the year against him, while coglan’s been up all year. coglan didn’t have a better season, just a longer one…

It’s just a shame. You figure the peers know a little more than the sportswriters. I don’t have a problem with Bailey winning- I have a problem with Beckham falling to 5.

No respect for G Becks. Awful.
