Topps doesn't include relief pitchers?
Kind of odd to leave off AL ROY Andrew Bailey from an all-rookie team.

THey always do a lefty and a righty

Hence Hanson Happ

Casey McGehee > Gordan Beckham, unless this is strictly a fielding award.

Yeah, i said it. Bring it on and look at the numbers.

How in the world does Ishikawa get it over Garrett Jones?

I would have said that it was about selling cards with the McGehee snub, but the omission of Jones doesn't fit that.

The only thing I can think of is that they considered Jones an outfielder, though he split time between first and the OF. If that's the case, I can't really argue with the three they selected.
