Sorry only two changes...

Pat Burrell over Ken Griffey Jr.

Burrell leads Griffey in the following categories
-Batting Average
-Home Runs
-RBI's
-Runs
-SLG%
-OBP
-Walks
-Total Bases

Griffey hit number 600, but other than that, this season has been pretty weak... Pat Burrell has put up some pretty big numbers this year and deserves the start....

Aaron Rowand over Fukodome

Aaron Rowand has a small advantage in HR's (8 to 5), RBI's (38 to 28), total bases (114 to 100)...

But Rowand gains a biiiiig advantage in Batting Average (.320 to .296) and Slugging% (.507 to .435).... This gives Rowand the advantage over Fukodome overall....

Just because your guys lead in Strikeouts and walks doesn't mean they are more deserving all-stars....

For the most part Burrell leads Griffey, it really isn't close if you look at the stats... As I said he leads in 8 major categories... and you admitted it, so I guess I'm finished with them....

Again, OBP, walks, and strikouts isn't going to make Fukodome an all-star over Rowand. Rowand leads in HR's, RBI's, TB's, SLG%, and Batting Average....

Rowands overall game is better. Fukodome hits for average and doesn't have any power really.... Rowand easily has the advantage in the power game... while it isn't shown in HR's you can see it in his Slugging% which is about 70 points higher, and 14 more total bases.... plus Rowand can also hit for average, indicated by his .320 average which is 24 points higher than Fukodome....

Fukodome is a good average hitter and can get on base, but Rowand has brought more to the table.... It is close, but their is not doubt Rowand is the better player....

What? You don't get voted into the all-star game because you'd be a good fit in the stadium it takes place in... it is based on your play during the season... and he certainly isn't a power hitter... he hits for average, but Rowand still hits a 24 point better average...

You want to come up with stats, lets see who leads in the major categories....

Category/KF-AR
HR/5-8...point to Rowand
RBI/39-28...point to Rowand
BA/.296-.320... point to Rowand
TB/100-114...point to Rowand
SLG%/.435-.507...point to Rowand
Runs/43-30...point to Fukodome
OBP/.404-.385...point to Fukodome

And the winner is..........

Aaron Rowand!

He took 5 major categories to Fukodomes 2... Rowand is obviously the better player here....
