There has to be a better choice than Whit Merrifield.

I've been on both sides of this - it's nice for fans of terrible teams to have someone to root for in the game. But people like Michael Lorenzen have no business being in the ASG and it's a shame it takes away a spot from deserving players

If you put a gun to my head and had me choose who the 1 Red Sox All Star would be I would NOT have chosen Jansen.

Verdugo is more deserving

Wow.. the All-Star game is in Seattle and the Mariners only managed to get only one player selected. It’s tough being a Mariners fan.

Happy to see Josiah Gray get the nod for Washington, but Lane Thomas would have been a solid choice as well under the "minimum 1 rep per team" rule.

I would’ve liked to see TJ Fridel get the nod over Gurriel too

J-Rod will be in the derby or replacement for Judge or Riley. MLB can't afford to have him out of the spotlight for this.

In all fairness as a Ranger fan, 4 were voted starters by fans.

Hopefully Diaz chooses not to pitch, he needs the rest.

I like how each team has a representative on the roster. In reality the game is for the fans and it is good to include someone from each team.

I hate to break it to you, but Jose Ramirez is way closer to the HOF than you think. His WAR is way ahead of pace, but WAR isn’t everything, his career passes the smell test.

And don’t count out Salvy too. You can’t use WAR to judge catchers the same way you can with other players. I think he gets in eventually. Maybe the veterans committee.
