It's not worth making the case against Hunter, Ichiro, or Zobrist, those guys are all 3 having great seasons, but I think you could sub Dye for any other OF on that list and have a better team.

I think his .924 OPS should get him in by itself. It's only bettered by Hunter and Zobrist.

Josh Hamilton being in is a joke.

But you can't really take him out because idiot fans voted him in.

I love Granderson and he's one of the most fan friendly players out there but he and Hamilton can easily be swapped with other players.

All I will say is on the roundup a few weeks ago I told you he wouldnt make it (I had Cruz instead of Zobrist but he didnt revive himself so he wasnt a legit candidate)

You were right, and I'm not surprised by that at all, Dye almost always gets overlooked, but my case was never that he would be an all-star, just that he deserved it.
