Who is a more deserving of being in the all star game?

299 45 10 51 5 McCutchen

281 44 13 48 16 Marte


By rep they are both excellent defenders.

The guy who everyone wants to see, the guy with the .395 OBP compared to Marte's .329. Not that I wouldn't love to see Marte there too.

Plunder the lox!

[Judge Jude]

McCutchen has a 148 OPS+, which is really good especially since he can play defense
Marte has a 118, which is ok for an OF who can play defense

McCutchen has 14 more plate appearances, so nothing there
Marte's 16 for 23 in SB isn't impressive, either

this is a blowout and Marte is not your winner

but Marte is having a similar fantasy baseball year, which is an entirely different question

[mgwiz22]

I concede the point. Your deeper analysis shows that there is a distinct gap in their performance.

By the way... Marte is probably a better defensive player. But Cutch was there first so he gets CF.

well, I learned that from your stat list that Marte has been Cutch's equal this year fantasy-wise, which I hadn't realized (as our Marte owner is always griping about him!)
