How can there be ten players on the first team? How do the make that choice? Wouldn't it make sense to have 7 on the first team? Whatever.

They've been doing that for a while since 2003. Congrats to Mathews. I won't say he doesn't deserve it but clearly there wasn't an overwhelmingly dominant hitter ala a Macias. I may be biased but maybe Grunst??? Maybe, if his blocking numbers weren't down this year. Otherwise it's his best offensive season.

zach bailey, light em up, light em up.

yeah it was a pretty average year for MIVA OH and and OPs. Grunst probably got some consideration, but its tough for a middle to win an MVP just due to their dependency on passing and setting. They would need big hairy blocking numbers, and I don't know that Grunst had that kind of blocking year.
