Nice to see Jason Marquis (.310 BA) get it over the overrated Dontrelle Willis. I wasn't aware that they give out Silver Sluggers for pitchers though.

One of those days when you look at the top list of sluggers and Mr. Pujols ain't there. Haha.

[DirtyKash]

Doesn't matter since he'll win MVP.

I like both first base choices
At second, it should've been Brian Roberts for the AL, and either Kent or Utley for the NL.
The 3B are fine (either Ensberg or Wright)
Glad to see FeLo get his due at SS, although Michael Young had Tejada beat out on the rate stats, although slugging was essentially a draw
Outfield: I think they messed up the NL. Cabrera and Jones I can live with, but where's Jason Bay? Lee was a massive messup. Right on for the AL outfield.
Catcher: I would have preferrd Victor Martinez at catcher, but their BA-OBP-SLG are similar. Barrett is fine
DH: Ortiz or Hafner work
Pitcher: Good catch.

Roberts did next to nothing in the second half..

And the Silver Slugger is a full-year award, and he was the best 2B in the AL over the course of a year.
