All Star Selection Discussion Thread
First big news from the All Star game selection show...Josh Hamilton will start in the game! That's SO great for him and I am so happy about his success this year.
 NL team hasn't been announced yet but the AL starters have been announced and there's not any huges surprises. C - Joe Mauer 1B - Kevin Youkalis 2B - Dustin Pedroia SS- Derek Jeter  (sorry, I'm not a fan, LOL)3B - Alex Rodriguez OF - Manny Ramirez, Josh Hamilton, Ichiro Suzuki DH - David Ortiz (who apparently won't play due to his injury) No news on the pitching staff for the AL yet. They're interviewing Josh right now.

Re: All Star Selection Discussion Thread
The NL's infield consists of Lance Berkman at first, Philly's Chase Utley at second, Atlanta's Chipper Jones at third and Florida's Hanley Ramirez at short. Former Yankee and current Cub Alfonso Soriano starts in left, teammate Kosuke Fukudome will be in center and Cincinnati's Ken Griffey, Jr. gets the nod in right. The Cubs' Geovany Soto is the starting catcher.

Re: All Star Selection Discussion Thread
Got nothing to complain about, he didn't deserve to make an "All-Star" game this year.

Re: All Star Selection Discussion Thread
I swear Junior was just in the top three for the OF when they showed the stats during the Fox game yesterday afternoon. This is beyond weird.
 EDINSON!!!

Re: All Star Selection Discussion Thread
Junior was like a couple hundred thousand votes ahead of Braun a few days ago.
Interesting. Is this on TV?

Re: All Star Selection Discussion Thread
Wow, Edinson is our only All Star this year. I can't argue with that too much but I'm shocked Junior somehow fell out of the top three OFs when he was just there yesterday.

Last year not winning the Gold Glove was a crime, he will win it this year if he keeps up this amazing pace he's on.

And thanks to Chase Utley, Brandon will probably never make the All Star team unless the manager or the players vote him there.
