The entire all-star game is a joke. i think one of the biggest jokes though has to be Soriano. He probably shouldn't even be on the team and yet he's a starter. Except for homeruns Rowand is ahead of Soriano in just about every stat.
Aaron Rowand??? Are they joking?
In my mind it is a 2-man race for both AL and NL slots.
In the AL, I would pick Longoria, but wouldn't be upset if Dye was picked. The other 3, no thanks.
In the NL, I would pick Carlos Lee, but would be fine with Pat Burrell.
Once again, Aaron Rowand?? Maybe they need someone to pinch hit for Albert Pujols? LOL
The biggest joke? David Ortiz was voted as a starter. Not only has he been injured for a significant portion of this season but when he was healthy he was awful
I agree that Soriano isn't an all-star this year. I was never a big supporter of fans selecting the team. But to compare stats of a guy that has missed 5-6 weeks to a guy that has played everyday isn't really reasonable.
