Votto? He is one of the five players left you can vote for, for the last spot.

Votto? He is one of the five players left you can vote for, for the last spot.

Oh, I figured someone who was in the top 5 in HR, RBI, BA, BA, OBP and 1st in OPS of a 1st-place baseball team would be voted in. My b, my b.

Yeah its horrible

 

[Rudi]

Enter Pelfrey!

Enter Mike Leake is what they should be sayin!

 

[Macken]

Nice to See Mauer and Morneau repping the Twins

 

[celtsxpatsxsox]

lol at Omar Infante making it. Nothing against him because I think hes a fine player in his role but he just isn't an "all star". If you put him on the team despite limited playing time then why not put Strasburg on the team.

 

[JTRaines92]

It's crazy that Omar Infante got selected for the NL, he's a backup player. I'd take Ryan Zimmerman over Infante any day. Also, Martin Prado deserves to start at 2B over Utley, look at the stats...

 

[G-men]

Votto not being on this team is a disgrace. and thank god Teixeira didn't get voted in. hes played terribly this year and he was actually leading first baseman in votes in the AL for a while. im a Yankees fan but one thing i hate is knowledgeable Yankees fans saying "oh hes a Yankee i'll vote him in."

How these guys got left off is beyond me.

 

[JTRaines92]

Prado is going to start over Utley. Utley's hurt.

Lol I know.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Omar Infante is on the All Star team.

Joey Votto isnt.

And people wonder why I rant on All Star games and make fun of people who care about them.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

No Miguel Olivo? No Alex Rios? No Tyler Clippard? No Dan Uggla? No Joey Votto?

Turrible selections.

 

[FedEx227]

Alex Rios with the mad snub this year.

.307/.362/.516, 13 HR, 45 RBI, 131 OPS, 2.4 WAR.

3rd best WAR number among AL outfielders.

 

[Rylo]

Josh Johnson is a MAN.

 

[Swarley]

Youkilis has moved ahead of Swisher in the AL final vote. Votto still leads NL.

[FedEx227]

Player A: .299/.416/.586, 17 HR, 55 RBI, 162 OPS+, 3.4 WAR

Player B: .299/.386/.562, 20 HR, 58 RBI, 149 OPS+, 2.6 WAR

Player C: .296/.375/.509, 13 HR, 47 RBI, 140 OPS+, 2.3 WAR

Who is more deserving of an All Star bid among these three?

 

[Woy]

Votto got snubbed, big time. There are so many star first basemen in the NL though.

Nice to see Wainwright and Carp both make it.

 

[Archer]

Omar Infante is on the All Star team.

Joey Votto isnt.

And people wonder why I rant on All Star games and make fun of people who care about them.

Philadelphia – As elated as the Braves clubhouse was over Phillies manager Charlie Manuel’s decision to include Omar Infante on the National League All-Star roster, he has received considerable backlash over the decision in fan blogs, radio call-in shows and the like.

Manuel explained on Monday that he was instructed to add a utility player to the roster and that was why he chose Infante, over a player like Joey Votto, the Reds’ first baseman who is an every day player with better numbers.

“We were told you had to have a utility player on your team,” Manuel said. “We went over a bunch of names, and I thought (Infante) was the best one on there. He can play all the infield positions and he can play all the outfield positions. And he’s hitting .300 or so.”

Sounds like bullshit to me
