He just shouldn't qualify.Hitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489121523710093410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401911.post-84788017953484681352010-07-02T12:27:08.754-05:002010-07-02T12:27:08.754-05:00My vote is no on Strasburg, only because there'...My vote is no on Strasburg, only because there's an unofficial feeling that a player has to play a full season (or half-season, to be technical) in order to qualify over players that have been there starting in April.<br /><br />It may not be fair and, more importantly, it may fly in the face of the notion that the All-Star Game counts for homefield advantage in the World Series (because if the game truly counts then only the best players should represent the league and scrubs from the Pirates, etc. need not participate) but that's just how I see it.<br /><br />Let's be frank here: Strasburg will likely be starting this game next year anyway. He's that good.MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12775103534946881090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401911.post-28482414116764916192010-07-02T12:04:40.099-05:002010-07-02T12:04:40.099-05:003 cheers as well for a great job.

Obviously you don't have him but I was wondering if you could talk more about why.Mighty Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882592090231689509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401911.post-49608297615889524602010-07-02T12:01:53.919-05:002010-07-02T12:01:53.919-05:00As you know, baseball is not my forte.

However, I did want to commend you on the thoroughness of your selections as it must have taken a while to select a player from each team!Gutsy Goldberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02430709156220475993noreply@blogger.com
