Aaron Hill and Roy Halladay Are All-Stars

Hill and Doc were named to the All-Star team today. I'll admit I think Scott Rolen and Marco Scutaro deserve to go as well but then you can't expect everything. Adam Lind in voting for the last spot on the team. Go here to vote for Lind.

Anyway congratulations to Aaron and Doc. Both are very deserving of the honor.

Rolen...

Evan Longoria and Michael Young over Scott Rolen? Especially Rolen has been so darn good offensively that bring his Batting Avg only behind Joe Mauer and Ichiro, yet both Mauer and Ichiro starting the all-star game… um… if Rolen’s defense is worst then Lind on left field, I can understand, but that’s certainly not the case.

mauer and ichiro clearly deserve spots at this point

But Josh Hamilton? He’s played in 35 games and posted a .240 / .290 / .456 line.

If the guy was as classy and respectful as everyone claims, he would have encouraged fans NOT to vote for him and throw their support behind Nelson Cruz, who hasn’t been injured all year and is hitting .266 / .330 / .535 with 20 homers and 13 steals (vs. just one CS).

Neither guy deserves it over Lind, but I am still just shocked that Hamilton could be voted in. This isn’t like when Cal Ripken used to get voted in . . . Josh Hamilton has played one full season.

As much as I like Adam Lind, his really needs to work on his defense. For the jays, I don’t think anybody would argue Snider has better D then Lind, but batting tho… that’s another story.

For starting Outfielder, I would pick Carl Crawford over Josh Hamilton, 82 games .318 and let Ichrio play center field.

Yeah, I love Crawford's speed and def and he's a delight to watch

Either way, my point was the Josh Hamilton thing is terrible

Yep

Josh Hamilton might be a worse pick than Dustin Pedroia

I didn't think Aaron would get in at all.

I thought Pedrioa and Kinsler would be going for sure.

What a nice surprise.

No kidding

Once Pedroia was voted in, I was sure Kinsler would be a shoe-in.
