Highlights of the…Emoo News Vol I, Edition IV

July 7, 1997

…As it’s All-Star time, I found myself sitting around creating some lists of my own. By no means are these foolproof. Arguments could be made for numerous other players. However, here are a few All-Star Rosters of my own:

P P. Martinez, S. Estes, G. Maddux, D. Kile, K. Brown, B. Jones, M. Wohlers, B. Wagner, R. Beck

C M. Piazza, T. Hundley

1B J. Bagwell

2B C. Biggio

3B C. Jones

SS J. Blauser

MI D. DeShields

CR A. Gallaraga

OF L. Walker, T. Gwynn, R. Lankford, B. Bonds, K. Lofton

U K. Young

P B. Tomko, S. Estes, M. Morris, A. Benes, J. Gonzalez, P. Martinez, U. Urbina, T. Adams, B. Wagner

C C. Widger, J. Kendall

1B D. Young

2B T. Womack

3B S. Rolen

SS N. Perez

MI W. Guerrero

CR D. Lee

OF V. Guerrero, A. Jones, J. Guillen, R. White, M. Tucker

U M. Grudzielanek

Players on the above list each has less than 3 or 4 years in the bigs. I tried to keep the cutoff to 2+ years of full tiime duty.

 

’97 KMART ROTO ALL-STAR TEAM

P D. Kile, F. Cordova, T. Mulholland, S. Estes, A. Benes, B. Jones, T. Worrell, J. Shaw, J. Franco

C J. Reed, S. Servais

1B J.T. Snow

2B T. Womack

3B V. Castilla

SS J. Blauser

MI E. Young

CR E. Alfonzo

OF M. Tucker, H. Rodriguez, M. Alou, T. Gwynn, E. Burks

U K. Young

Players on the above list were selected based on a combination of ’97 first half statistics and EMOO ’97 salaries. This is perhaps not a first place team but would nevertheless be extremely competitive throughout the year.

Finally here is my favorite:

’97 ALL-STAR $2.60 TEAM

P Estes 5, Kile 1, Morris 5, Cordova 2, Benes 9, Jones 8, Neagle 11, Shaw 1, Worrell 7

C Hundley 26, Reed 1

1B Galarraga 29

2B Womack 10

3B Jones 20

SS Blauser 8

MI Kent 17

CR Snow 9

OF Walker 38, Gwynn 24, Lankford 21, Guerrero 2, Jones 5

U K. Young 1

The total price tag comes to $2.60. What little this team gives up in saves it gets back in wins, ERA and WHIP.
