I was just wondering when the all-league team was going to come out, and there it was, announced earlier this evening.
Bourne leads the charge with four selections, but it’s pretty balanced overall, perhaps a sign of the league’s parity. Every team had at least two picks.
It looks like a solid group to me, with fewer snubs than the all-star rosters. Logan Vick and Joe Bircher, two of the most glaring all-star omissions, were selected all-league.
At first glance, the guy with the biggest gripe would be Chris Beck, who had a 2.12 ERA and ranked fifth in the league in strikeouts. You could also make a case for a couple of guys like Jon Moscot, Andrew Toles, Joey Rickard and Ben Waldrip, but overall, I like the picks. I really like the Richie Shaffer pick. He was under the radar a bit, but of his 36 hits this summer, 19 went for extra-bases.
