So the 2015 All-Star Game is now less than a month away. Obviously there have been some scandals with the voting issues, but who doesn't want to see Omar Infante in the All-Star Game? Anyway, the question here is simple. How many All-Stars do you think your team will have represented in Cincinnati?

My Mets will only have 2 players. Jeurys Familia has been solid when healthy this season, and is the most worthy of All-Star status on the Mets this season. Jacob deGrom is also tremendously worthy, as he's continued to build off his great rookie season last year to have an awesome season so far in 2015. Matt Harvey might get a nomination, but he's not been as worthy as deGrom.

As for our position players, A. None of them are worthy and B. Our fans don't vote, but complain instead. The only player that shows up on the Ballot Updates is David Wright, probably because he's the most popular name on the Mets. The only guy I could think of who's sorta worthy is Wilmer Flores. He's put up offensive numbers similar to those of NL SS Vote Leader Johnny PEDralta, but Cardinals fans are the best fans in baseball, so they must get their way. Also, Flores' fielding is pure shit, so...

Post away!

Probably Tulo and Arenado.

Dodgers-
On the pitching side of things, zack greinke will probably be chosen. Don't be surprised if Clayton Kershaw is chosen though. Mattingly is a coach on the NL staff, so he might be an extra for bochy's roster decisions. He made a few years back when greinke was having way better numbers.

Pitchers: Zack Greinke

On the offensive side, I see joc pederson making it easily as a reserve on bochy's team. I also think Adrian Gonzalez will make it this year for the first time since '11. He won't be a starter, but a reserve. DH is available so he will make it there. I see goldschmidit, votto, and rizzo also at the game with A-Gon. Don't be surprised if Yasmani Grandal makes the team either, I think he might as an injury backup. An injury always seems to occur this time a year. I do think he makes it though.

Position Players: Joc Pederson, Adrian Gonzalez, and Yasmani Grandal

Rangers- Only two players here and it's Prince Fielder and............ Mitch Moreland. Two great offensive forces.

Nationals- It's easy here, Bryce Harper, Yunel Escobar, Max Scherzer, and Drew Storen. Demand Span may be an injury replacement.

Yankees- Mark Teixeira, Dellin Betances, and Andrew Miller

Stephen Vogt should easily be the AL starting catcher, stats-wise, but fan-votin exists, so he'll probably be the back up. Reddick may make it in to the All-Star game, not as a starter though. Semien was in the voting, but his offense has dropped off so I doubt seeing him in the ASG.

I'm hoping Sonny Gray will be the AL Starter, because he's pitched immensely well, but I doubt it. He WILL be in the ASG though.

Any other players Mr. Bandwagon?

Yes, on the Padres, Justin upton should make it, and I do see "big game" James shields also. The other friar I see is Derek Norris in the game as a reserve

Ha Rangers, I'm gonna call you mr. Bandwagon too now!! Wait until everybody here's about this!

Ha...
Haha...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Did you miss an entire chat conversation we had this morning?

I guess he missed it

Tigers - Probably Cabrera, Iglesias, Price, and if we're lucky, Cespedes.

Rick Porcello, Mike Napoli, Hanley Ramirez (for his defense), and Matt Barnes

You misspelled Brock Holt

Cubs - Rizzo for sure, could see any of Hammel, Arrieta, Castro, Bryant, and Montero make it, Hammel most likely

Rangers - Fielder should be a shoo-in, maybe Mitch Moreland, but that's it

Wait, Starlin Castro sucks and no way deserves to be mentioned as an All-Star. Miguel Montero doesn't either.

Brock Holt doesn't have enough ABs IMO

lol adam jones but not starting which is dumb cause royals fans flood the ballots for players that underwhelm compared to better players
