I think it's JJ and Uggz and Hanley. Gotta be honest, if he keeps winning I think Anibal is deserving too. And Nunez definitely is deserving, but they don't take many closers and you figure KRod and Capps are shoo-insOriginally posted by Madman81Most of the people in the world being dumb is not a requirement for you to be among their ranks.

Originally posted by Valid View PostIf you really look at the numbers, Cantu hasn't been bad defensively at all. His UZR is 0.1, and his UZR/150 is 2.9. Wright is a terrible defensive player (-3.5 UZR, -11.3 UZR/150), as is McGehee (-4.9 UZR, -17.5 UZR/150). Zimmerman has clearly been the NL's best all-around third baseman this year, but Cantu is RIGHT there behind him. I mean, whether you consider clutch hitting to be a skill or not, his .407 average and 1.067 OPS with RISP is simply outstanding.Originally posted by Madman81Most of the people in the world being dumb is not a requirement for you to be among their ranks.

It's errors and fielding percentage, that's it. No doubt Cantu's defense has improved but when you're taking a stat like UZR which isn't even widely accepted by all statheads and thinking it'll be applied toward All-Star selection, it just isn't going to happen.
