    Everyone who made the NL squad ahead of Bruce and Choo are having monster years, so can't complain.

    Re: All Star Game Selection Thread

    So who fights it out to be the 32nd man on both rosters?

    I'm assuming Bruce has to be one of the candidates for the NL.

    Surprised at no Choo, not even the final vote deal.

    Travis Wood is the first pitcher drafted by Reds to make the All Star game since BJ Ryan.

    Re: All Star Game Selection Thread

    Jay Bruce's rank among NL outfielders:

    HR - 4th
    RBI - 3rd
    2B - 1st
    Hits - 5th
    XBH - 2nd
    Runs - 6th
    TB - 3rd
    SLG - 6th
    OPS - 9th

    How does that not translate into at least a final vote candidate?

    Hunter Pence?

    Hunter Pence is Bochy's guy. 'Nuff said.

    Reds' PR folks fell down on the job?

    Jay Bruce was kind of surprise pick last year. I would rather seem him rested and recharged.

    Agreed. For those who argue that Puig's one monster month makes him a deserving candidate, I would ask this: what if his monster month was in April and then he got injured, or simply did not play well in May and June. Should one good month be enough then? And, what about this: evidently he wasn't good enough in April and May to play in the Bigs. So why shouldn't those count as months when he did nothing?

    Or maybe I'm wrong. Ranting. wanted JB in the AS game.
    For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.

    Tulo is scheduled to be off of the DL next week and is expected to play in the AS-Game.

    Choo had the inside track on a reserve slot until the last month IMO. Bruce staged a late mad dash but came up short.
