Latest AL update:




Latest NL update:

 

[darko]

Cubs fans out-Royaling the Royals fans.

 

[hockeykicker]

Wilson Ramos and Daniel Murphy should be starters

 

[MurrayBannerman]

The difference between Murphy and Zobrist is marginal at best.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Can't think of an A that deserves to be. Maybe Khris Davis.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Not Valencia?

 

[Halladay]

Mazara should be an all star imo.

There's about half a dozen OFers that have had better years to date than Mazara, as impressive as he's looked.

Well, I think Desmond is the only other Ranger really deserving of a spot. maybe Hamels too.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

I also like the idea of putting a young star in the game.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Pretty much every starter right now (especially in the AL) could be classified as a "young star"....which speaks to the current state of the game.

Although what do classify as "young"?

Huh?

 

[hockeykicker]

Huh?

Because next year it's in Miami, the al is the home team. Op is correct

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Huh?

Because the games last year, this year, next year, and the year after that are all being held in NL parks the decision was made to make the AL the home team for this year's game (and I'd imagine 2018's unless 2019's goes to an AL team)

I was never aware of that. I do remember when it was back-to-back years that an NL team hosted the game (2006-2007) and the NL was still the home team in 2007.

Will the NL still wear the home uniforms despite being the road team?

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Just looking at the NL rotation (I know it will change because some guys will pitch the day before the all-star break and won't be available) but imagine getting one inning each out of these guys.

Kershaw
Syndergaard
Arrieta
Cueto
Fernandez
Strasburg
Lester
Bumgarner
Greinke

Just ridiculous.

 

[robert terwilliger]

why just get one inning out of bumgarner? bring him in in the 5th and just let him go.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Not Valencia?

Even if he ends up deserving to, Donaldson, Machado, Longoria and Beltre will be fighting for 2-3 spots.

 

[Porn*]

EE and Donaldson deserve spots. Possibly even Sanchez or Estrada.

 

[Terry Yake]

Can't think of an A that deserves to be. Maybe Khris Davis.

hill but he's injured

it'll be either davis or valencia i'm guessing

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Hate fan voting.

 

[Voight]

Hate fan voting.

Me too. Really skews the lineups. Javier Baez has no business starting in an all star game.

Russell.

And yes I agree.

He's missing too many games, unfortunately.
