Concerning the selection of shortstop in the AL:

Has anyone noticed how close the stats are for the top
three shortstops in the AL?  It's almost unbelievable.
Ripken, Trammel, and (my favorite) Yount all have close
to the same hits,average,triples, doubles, runs and
rbi's; very, very close.  Ripken started out the season real
hot and he does have quite a few more homers than either
Yount or Trammel, but he cooled off (as did Trammel)
closer to the All-Star break.  Personally, I would pick
Yount (because he's my favorite, he hustles all the
time and plays for by far the worst team of the three,
Mil., Det., and Balt.), then Trammel (because of his
superior fielding) and then Ripken.  I mean not to slight to
Ripken, because they are all really All-Stars.

Anyway, any comments about why Alfredo Griffin got picked 
when Trammel got hurt.  I realize that he was in S.F. at the
time, but still -- he's hitting .241 or something.
