One of the problems with the All-Star Game, besides the bloated rosters, the tee ball-style managing, the broadcasts, the complete lack of transparency in vote counting, “This Time It Counts,” the Home Run Derby ... wait, what was I talking about?
Both Halves All-Stars
Ah, yes. The All-Star Game. This year, instead of mindlessly picking the First-Half All-Stars, like some kind of automaton, why not head over to FanGraphs, choose “Past 1 Calendar Years” from the Splits drop-down, and give some credit to the players who’ve played well since the last All-Star Game (or thereabouts)? You know, like a thoughtful automaton!
Past Year All-Stars after the jump ...
