“Palmeiro?s ?99 gold glove, ahem. I am willing to say that the media aren?t better.”

I know this is a basketball site, but I just wanted to point out that the Gold Glove is voted on by managers and coaches, not the media…

This isn’t just a sports thing. Anytime there’s a list people always want to overstock it. If Rolling Stone, or Billboard, or the American Film Institute throws out a top 100, everyone’s going to chime in on songs or films that got snubbed (without saying what needs to go) until eventually the top 100 list has 250 entries.

I’ll tell you who is being snubbed. David Lee. Here is what the Wages of Wins had to say about him recently.

Those would be the starters if we only considered players who finished in the top ten in voting. If we consider all NBA players, then David Lee of the New York Knicks would edge out Okafor. Lee, who appears on a quest to save the job of Isiah Thomas, had produced 9.8 wins and posted a WP48 of 0.386 through the first 41 games. In other word, Lee is currently one of the ten most productive players in the game. And Isiah doesn?t even start him.

Amen.

“I hate the sports media as much as the next person, but they absolutely do not do worse than the fans. The fans vote in guys who barely play.”

Palmeiro’s ’99 gold glove, ahem.

I am willing to say that the media aren’t better.

I agree completely. The whining over “snubs” drives me crazy, in baseball as well. Just cause a player is having a great season, or putting up great numbers, does not not mean he is worthy of being an All-Star. They act like this is 5th grade and everyone deserves an award. No. You can have a fine season without deserving recognition as an All-Star. Instead, they keep expanding the rosters in baseball, and now Clyde says they should expand the NBA All-Star rosters to 15. Don’t these people realize as they lower the bar, there are now even MORE players who appear have a legitimate gripe at being left off? Expand rosters to 15, there’s another 10 who can say “Why not me?”
