Best record in Baseball and the Cubs don't deserve anyone on the All Star team? Interesting...

 

In his defense, he only listed his starting lineup also...maybe he has a few Cubbies on the bench, lol.

The real joke is that Ian Kinsler should be the hands down favorite for 2B in the AL. Pedroia's numbers don't compare. He's crushing him in every category. Although Kinsler is miserable defensively.

 

Dan Uggla and Chase Utley are as close as you can get, I'd consider taking Uggla but it is darn close.

Uggla and Utley are so close offensively, that you have to take defensive to break that tie. That goes to Utley.

For me:

NL:

C: McCann (Soto is close thought)

1B: Berkman

2B: Utley (Ulgga is neck and neck + I could see him starting too)

SS: H. Rameriz (Tejada could make the argument)

3B: Chipper

OF: Braun, Ludwick + McClouth

 

AL:

C: Nobody really stands out IMO Variteck or Martinez

1B: Yukillis

2B: Kinsler

SS: Guillen

3B: ARod

OF: Quinten, Hamilton, Manny

Teams like the Rays and DBacks have good young talent that don't get the pub but are really good too.

They will get some pitchers in.

Yes because ROY should definately be based off of popularity.

 

 

He's not the favorite for Rookie of the Year because of popularity--he also happens to be really, really good.

A very productive catcher. He or Fukedome deserves ROY so far this year.

Consider the All-Star game is about letting the fans see who they want to see, yeah, I think they got it spot on.

 

Great point! Nothing against Ludwick & McClouth, they are having tremendous seasons, but who wants to watch those guys play, honestly?

When home field for the World Series is on the line I could care a less about who the fans want and I would want the best players on the field period!
