The remedy is a NL team in a NL park.

We agree for the most part but........... I think you are being a bit of a homer on your Giants picks. However, Bochy is the Mgr so he will probably put them on

Corbin >>> Bumgarner (Corbin leads league in wins, era under 2, whip barely over 1)
Choo > Pence (Choo 8th in league in OPS and 6th in league in Runs scored)

I factored the Bochy part in, which is why i made those changes. Pence definitely deserves it. Hes been fantastic. Choo has been good too, but his offensive numbers arent as impressive. .284 avg, 10 hr, 21 rbi, 5 sb, etc. hes getting on base at a fantastic rate, and playing great D, but in a game thats also about star power, i think a guy like McCutchen should go instead. Hes just been a bit better imo.

Since AZ has Goldschmidt already, and I think Corbin tails off a bit in the next month, I can see Bochy giving Bumgarner the nod, mainly because hes deserved to go the last couple years, and never been picked. He has to step it up a bit before then though.

Now if only managers and players were the only ones to make those decisions of who deserves to start in the All-Star game?

lol its a pet peeve of mine. I was just giving John a hard time for fun.

Managers should be given the choices. Then we wouldn't have Nomar Garciaparra voted as the starting SS after he didn't play in a single game until then.

I hate the fact that every team has to be represented because it leaves out players that DESERVES to be there. That is why every season we have to talk about players that got snubbed. Those players who end up on THE FINAL VOTE, those players all deserve to go.

I was making my picks based on right now. Corbin deserves the nod over Bumgarner as it stands today. Perhaps that can change. I have no doubt that Bochy will put McCutchen and Pence on the team. I dont know if they deserve it over Choo for this season. Choo has been remarkable as a lead off hitter and not fair to include RBI for him hitting out of that spot. His OBP and runs scored are great.

Oh one more thing.. Segura over Tulo? Come on man. Tulo might be the MVP of the NL right now.

Niners99 is just excited about Segura because he got him cheap in his fantasy league. No way he is in over Tulowitzki.

I could see giving Freeman the nod over Gonzalez as the 3rd first baseman. Not a chance he deserves it over Votto or Goldschmidt. As for Gattis, nice story and all but I have a hard time putting a guy on the AS team that isnt even a full time player on his own team.
