nice to see a met finally get what he deserves

  Agreed. Although I’ll say ‘Mets’ b/c both Jose and Carlos deserve to be there this year.
  
  However, Jose might just miss it anyway if on the DL. But hey, being named as the starting AS SS gives him a $50 K bonus and I believe Carlos gets a 100K bonus.

Xtreem: How about my Clippard call?

Nice for Jose, he deserved it based on having an amazing first half but my fear is that he won’t be able to utilize this chance

  Clippard is easily the best middle reliever in the game, no question about that. I was basing my list on the fact that middle relievers very often get overlooked. T-Clip forced their hand, that’s for sure.
