2011 All-Star Rosters

[Elite]

So are Verlander, Felix, and James Shields. It obviously didn't play much into his decisions.

<Censored> took CJ Wilson over CC

 

[bosoxlover12]

My guess is Lester, Humbrer, and Pineda replace those 3

and just wondering, why is there a DH spot on the ballot, if the game is in a NL park?

 

[Elite]

New rule that they implemented, every All-Star has a DH now, doesn't matter if the park is AL or NL

 

[VC15]

David Robertson was also snubbed.

 

[elcheato]

Mark and CC not being there is ridiculous.

Even more ridiculous that Mark didn't make the Final Vote thing.

Russell Martin made the game with a .220 average and 10 homers, and Derek Jeter made it with .260 and 20 RBIs. I feel like that is a fair trade off..

 

[Rice18]

Gio made it. My favorite player in the MLB. #SWAG

 

[Elite]

No, because I could care less whether those two made out, but CC and Tex being snubbed is ridiculous

 

[elcheato]

CC wasn't even the most deserving pitcher that was left off and there was no way they could have Tex on the team if Konerko wasn't there, because he is clearly having the better year.

 

[Elite]

Tex has a higher WAR than Konerko does

CC has the 3rd highest WAR in the MLB (amongst pitchers)

 

[Elite]

Just realized Andrew McCutchen didn't make it, that is easily one of the biggest snubs this year

 

[bosoxlover12]

lol using WAR for pitchers

 

[Elite]

What's wrong with using WAR for pitchers?

 

[RipCity32]

They're equal except for average, and Asdrubal makes up for it by being 100x the defender that Peralta dreams about being. Plus he is carrying a team, not hitting 7th and 8th behind all-star hitters seeing fastballs constantly.

No question that Asdrubal deserves it over Peralta.

Please inform me how Asdrubal is 100x the defender that Peralta dreams about lmao.
Just because you watched Jhonny in Cleveland doesn't mean he is the same player he is now. He has been a very good defender for us, and isn't some sort of liability everyone claimed he would be. He has shown pretty solid range and has only committed 4 errors (Cabrera has 5). So stop making stupid ass assumptions like that.

Dan Haren, Ricky Romero

It's not a stupid assumption.. I've watched both play defense for many years, and Asdrubal is clearly the better defender. Not even close. I've seen both play for well over 300 games. You've seen Asdrubal play maybe 20 times.

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

I voted for Andrew McCutchen.....

And you've seen him play how many times this year?

 

[elcheato]

And you've seen him play how many times this year?

Defensive range isn't something you improve on at the age of 29. He's not a good defender, but whatever you want to believe.

 

[RipCity32]

Cabrera isn't 100x better.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

yeah Tex>Miggy and Kornerko this year


CC wouldnt be able to play anyways, he's pitching that Sunday, so he'd be replaced

First, it's Konerko, not Kornerko. LOL

Second, I'm taking .319 / .390 / .569 (Konerko) over .244 / .350 / .532 (Teixeria) all day.

Miguel Cabrera also dominates Tex. .324 / .444 / .567 (4th best line in the big leagues), probably could argue for him over Adrian Gonzalez at 1B.
