Where are Rafael Ramirez and Claudell Washington in the balloting? Probably near the bottom since they are not well known, but are both in the top ten in batting and other offensive categories. I may be an Atlanta fan, but I don't even think that Dale Murphy should be as high up as he is now. He's hit a lot of homers, but his average is only around .250. (It looks like he may be falling into the Mike Schmidt syndrome. ARGGGGG!!!) Anyway, look at Gary Carter leading the catching position. The only thing I see him doing any good at is slugging pct. And would you beleive that Steve Yeager is running second in the balloting. I don't think he has played 25 games this year (starting, that is). I could go on for days, but hopefully the coaches will equalize this fiasco with some good picks (e.g., Gwynn, Francona, Hayes, Dernier, etc.) Till next time, Russ Pierce Denver, CO
