The All-Jomboy-Media Team Concept

  • πŸ† The "All-JM Team" is a recurring segment from the 2021 season, culminating in a final, official team selection.
  • 🌟 The core idea is to reward players who performed best throughout the entire season, not just in single months.
  • 🌸 A "Daisy" award is given to the top player at each position, with "petals" representing monthly wins.
  • πŸ… The "Silver Daisy" is awarded to players who achieved a "pole to pole" victory, winning their position every month.

American League Selections

  • πŸ₯‡ Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is the AL First Baseman, earning a rare "Silver Daisy" with consistent dominance across all offensive categories.
  • πŸ₯ˆ Marcus Semien is the AL Second Baseman, recognized for his strong performance and transformation into a power-hitting middle infielder.
  • πŸ₯‰ Carlos Correa is the AL Shortstop, narrowly winning a debate against Xander Bogaerts due to his higher bWAR and defensive impact.
  • πŸ… Jose Ramirez is the AL Third Baseman, chosen over Rafael Devers for his superior defense and stolen bases, despite similar offensive numbers.
  • πŸ† Salvador Perez is the AL Catcher, selected for his impressive home run total and games played, outperforming the competition.
  • 🌟 Cedric Mullins and Aaron Judge are AL Outfielders, with Mullins earning a "Daisy" for his 30-30 season and Judge for his strong overall performance.
  • πŸš€ Kyle Tucker secures the final AL Outfield spot, recognized for his late-season surge and consistent improvement.
  • ⚾ Robbie Ray is the AL Starting Pitcher, chosen for his ERA and innings pitched, despite strong arguments for Lance Lynn and others.
  • πŸ’‘ Shohei Ohtani is the AL Designated Hitter, acknowledged for his elite hitting performance, separate from his pitching prowess.

National League Selections

  • πŸ₯‡ Paul Goldschmidt is the NL First Baseman, winning a close contest against Max Muncy and Freddie Freeman due to his strong second-half performance and consistency.
  • πŸ₯ˆ Ozzie Albies is the NL Second Baseman, narrowly selected over Jonathan India after a debate weighing counting stats and overall impact.
  • πŸ₯‰ Brandon Crawford is the NL Shortstop, winning a tight race against Trea Turner and Fernando Tatis Jr. due to his consistent defense and games played at the position.
  • πŸ… Austin Riley is the NL Third Baseman, earning the nod for his offensive dominance and strong slash line.
  • 🌟 Bryce Harper, Juan Soto, and Bryan Reynolds are the NL Outfielders, with Soto's OBP and Reynolds' consistency and games played being key factors.
  • πŸ† Buster Posey is the NL Catcher, selected for his career achievements and overall impact, despite a close race with Will Smith.
  • πŸš€ Corbin Burns is the NL Starting Pitcher, chosen for his ERA and overall performance, narrowly beating out Walker Buehler and Max Scherzer.

Award Philosophy and Future

  • πŸ—“οΈ Future seasons may refine parameters for eligibility and award criteria, especially for two-way players and multi-positional athletes.
