I know a number of players are actually selected sight unseen so, IMO, it seems to be part reputation, part statistics (accurate, inflated, or otherwise), part past performance, part actual performance, and, of course, part politics. Many are no brainer picks while others seem to be brain scratcher picks. IMO, its next to impossible to get it right at any level including major league sports. I say kudos to those selected, but also recognize that there often are more deserving players not selected!
In our state the nominees are selected by their performance at the particular level of play. ( district-all state ) The opposing coaches pick from our team, and our coach picks from the other teams. Yes I agree the 'studs' are well known by name before they even take the field. There have been times where a player has sucked all season but played the series of her life during playoffs and gotten an award.
Funny thing is pitchers are usually a shoe in. Doesn't matter if they pitch a no hitter or give up 10 runs. I guess coaches have to keep their divas happy.
