2008 ASG, National League

I'll get to the pitchers sometime this weekend, the position players are more fun to do.

Catcher
Name Win Shares/WARP3/VORP/EQA/OPS+
Soto 12/8.5/28.4/.307/133
McCann 12/8.2/29.3/.307/138
Martin 11/7.9/28.0/.303/121
Kendall 11/6.1/4.4/.260/83
Doumit 10/5.1/21.3/.331/145

Wow, that's a coin toss. I'm gonna give it to Soto on his sliver-thin edge in WARP3, but that could really go either way. Russ Martin's also not very far behind, and Ryan Doumit would be right there if he had more plate appearances.
Starter: Geovany Soto
Reserve: Brian McCann

First Base
Name Win Shares/WARP3/VORP/EQA/OPS+
Berkman 21/11.7/62.3/.366/190
Pujols 15/9.9/48.1/.373/185
Gonzalez 14/7.5/25.1/.309/133
Teixiera 9/7.0/23.1/.301/131
Fielder 11/5.8/18.6/.294/118
Lee 8/7.2/27.1/.301/127
Jackson 10/5.3/20.5/.296/120

Is Lance Berkman even playing the same sport as everyone else? I mean, he's practically lapping Albert freaking Pujols! Yowza.
Starter: Lance Berkman
Reserve: Albert Pujols

Second Base
Name Win Shares/WARP3/VORP/EQA/OPS+
Utley 15/12.3/42.4/.330/147
Uggla 16/10.5/38.6/.337/160
Hudson 11/7.2/19.4/.283/111
Phillips 10/6.8/23.4/.291/111
DeRosa 9/8.1/18.1/.293/115

Utley edges Uggla for the best National League East second baseman with a last name that starts with a U award. And the all-star spot.
Starter: Chase Utley
Reserve: Dan Uggla

Third Base
Name Win Shares/WARP3/VORP/EQA/OPS+
Jones 14/10.7/53.7/.371/190
Ramirez 13/7.5/25.1/.307/132
Wright 11/8.4/31.3/.318/139
Glaus 11/7.4/13.4/.293/114
Cantu 9/5.6/17.9/.286/115

Man, Larry's having a huge year. Ramirez is gonna edge Wright due to David's slumping season in the field (-3 FRAA, 1.0 fielding Win Share). I hope he can make it in as a DH.
Starter: Chipper Jones
Reserve: Aramis Ramirez

Shortstop
Name Win Shares/WARP3/VORP/EQA/OPS+
Ramirez 14/10.5/54.8/.314/154
Reyes 12/9.6/37.8/.303/125
Guzman 14/6.2/24.6/.272/102
Tejada 9/6.6/16.5/.263/97
Hardy 6/7.9/26.8/.301/123
Furcal 9/4.5/26.5/.363/170
Rollins 8/4.7/20.2/.283/97

First Met to make the team! Hanley Ramirez is having an incredible year, and has apparently drastically improved his D. Reyes edges Christian Guzman, despite Guzman's fantastic year defensively. Furcal, off his torrid start, breaks into the list with only 154 PA's.
Starter: Hanley Ramirez
Reserve: Jose Reyes

Centerfield
Name Win Shares/WARP3/VORP/EQA/OPS+
McLouth 18/7.9/34.0/.324/138
Beltran 15/6.9/26.7/.301/122
Rowand 9/6.9/18.9/.288/115
Ankiel 8/5.0/20.2/.300/124
Kemp 9/5.9/14.4/.277/98
Ross 6/6.2/16.7/.296/121

Another Met makes the cut! Pretty shallow field here, at least when compared to the AL. McLouth takes the starting spot, easily, and Beltran continues to have fantastic years under the radar.
Starter: Nate McLouth
Reserve: Carlos Beltran

Right Field
Name Win Shares/WARP3/VORP/EQA/OPS+
Nady 12/8.8/25.6/.331/140
Ludwick 12/8.2/25.6/.323/143
Hart 14/6.2/20.3/.296/118
Giles 9/7.0/19.9/.313/128
Winn 11/6.7/14.1/.286/102

That's basically a three way tie. I'm going with Nady because of his lead in WARP3, and Ludwick because of his offensive numbers but this could go any way between the three of em.
Starter: Xavier Nady
Reserve: Ryan Ludwick

Outfield
Name Win Shares/WARP3/VORP/EQA/OPS+
Burrell 16/8.9/36.5/.338/155
Holliday 14/7.8/40.3/.338/152
Bay 17/7.4/32.7/.338/143
Braun 14/8.2/25.8/.300/126
Dunn 13/8.0/22.0/.316/133
Lee 13/5.6/28.7/.303/133

Wow, didn't realize how loaded left field is in the NL this year. I'm gonna give the slight edge to Pat Burrell, who apparently plays a better left field than Matt Holliday.
Starter: Pat Burrell
Reserve: Matt Holliday

Designated Hitter
Name VORP/EQA/OPS+
Bay 32.7/.338/143
Wright 31.3/.318/139
Dunn 22.0/.316/133
Gonzalez 25.1/.309/133
Lee 28.7/.303/133
Teixeira 23.1/.301/131
Giles 19.9/.313/128
Lee 27.1/.301/127
Braun 25.8/.300/126
Ankiel 20.2/.300/124

Well, Bay shouldn't start if Holliday doesn't, so the actual starters will be:

Left field
Starter: Pat Burrell
Reserve: Jason Bay

Designated Hitter
Starter: Matt Holliday
Reserve: David Wright

And that's the third Met to make the team, although none of them are starters.

Hopefully I can get to the pitchers on Sunday. Won't be writing anything tomorrow since I'll be at Shea in field box seats I got from a friend at work. Hopefully Pedro will catch whatever bug all the other pitchers have had lately and shut down the Rox.
