Sisler is very deserving. He is having the best season ever for a player on my teams.
Edit: How could I forget, but Kevin Brown is now 10-4 with a 3.15 ERA.
As much as I complain about it, my bullpen has a couple of players in the top vote getters: Eckersley (2.36 ERA, 19 SV #2 in AC) and Dierker (24 IP, 1.88 ERA).
I think catcher Earl Battey should make it also (.330/.371/514), but he has been platooning for most of the season and has only played in about half of the games. That could hurt his chances. He only has a .613 OPS vs. RHP.
The LH platoon half (85 Berra) is worse (.488 OPS) vs RHP believe it or not, so I am looking for a better catcher that bats left. VERY hard to find unless you want to forego defense entirely (which I don't). I am looking for McCarver but he hasn't come up for a decent price in quite a while. My other option is to get a defensive backup and play Battey full-time but that doesn't thrill me either. I had 94 Bench for two years and decided that I could get crappy offense for much less money. I would really like to at least get a 100 OPS+ out of the position via platooning.
