MLB All Star Game 2011

I think everyone used to be a Marlin, or Pirate.

 

[Hart5150]

So he isn't valuable because the rest of the team sucks?

I guess it's what each voter deems valuable. If he keeps up this pace he could get some votes. I didn't think Arod deserved his MVP when the Rangers finished in last.

I believe your value should also equate to team success.

I agree, but I also think there should be a distinction between "MVP" and "Player of the Year". IMO, Kemp would be the POTY going away at the All-Star Break.

 

[DodgerKing]

Victorino out and Ethier in. Now the only two good Dosgers hitters are both in the All Star game.

Kevin Youkilis has been named to replace the injured A-Rod on the All-Star team.

Meh, I'd rather he get his rest (Youks has been battling a back injury).

As I mentioned in the other thread, Jhonny Peralta also has been selected ... replacing Jeter.

Looks like Chipper Jones will be out of the all star game.

Jon Lester to replace King Felix.

 

[Jimbo]

Curious, do we have a list of players that were originally in the ASG Vs those that will actually be at the ASG Tuesday ?

Jon Lester to replace King Felix.

Why is Felix not going ?

 

[BillD1984]

Why is Felix not going ?

He started today and would be unavailable to pitch Tuesday. Lester isn't going either because he's on the DL. Ricky Romero is going instead.

I will since it starts at 5pm here. If I was on the east coast where it starts at 8pm and ends too late, I maybe watching something else instead

 

[cosmo_kramer]

Is Chris Berman calling it again this year?? I'll have to mute the sound if I do watch....

Unfortunately yes..................It drives me nuts how he swoops in for all of ESPN's marquee events! The worst example is how he takes over Baseball Tonight at the World Series, after Karl Ravech hosts it all year!
