I don't mean to be grouchy about it, but there's very few players here that I'm excited for at an all-star level. Contreras probably started too cold to garner any support, and as much as I cannot STAND the guy, Alonso is clearly the guy this year.
Donovan's a nice player, all credit to him, but when I think of him, I don't think ALL STAR! I think, yep, he's a nice table setter of a player. The kind of player who makes a good team great, but not a star.
There's no way Winn sniffs the game, not when he's in a league with Lindor and EDLC, though, in Winn's case, I think it says more about the current crops of shortstops than it does Winn's talent. It's just a loaded position.
Arenado doesn't belong. We all know this.
And definitely not anybody from the outfield.
It's been a problem for a few years now, but there's no player on the team, hitting or pitching, that's a stand-out. We don't have a player right now that you can point to and say "HIM. That guy is the team." You know?
