Thor! Familia is well deserved!
 
Terry Collins did a pretty bad job picking the NL roster :lol

edit: I guess he was sort of handicapped having to pick someone from teams like the Braves, Reds, and Phillies, but still
 
i'll be abstaining from Citi Field while José Jistrióntics is on the Mets roster. Thankfully he'll be gone by mid August.

What he did was awful. But I'd be willing to bet a percentage of athletes are awful people, we just don't hear about it. I try not to base my sports decisions on how players act outside of the field (court, etc) but I completely understand your way of thinking.

C: Vogt, Wieters

chris young has absolutely no business starting anymore and it's fucking depressing that we have no one worth a shit to replace him
 
Better than the NL starting SS.

If HR is the only stat that mattered

Should be Seager and Crawford :/
 
Players picks. They disagreed with the fans on all the NL starters. AL there is only 1 disagreement.
The players agreed with the fans on zero starting All Star spots. Players' picks: Paul Goldschmidt, Daniel Murphy, Corey Seager, Nolan Arenado, Wilson Ramos, Marcell Ozuna, Carlos Gonzalez & (yes) Adam Duvall.

Only position in the AL the players disagreed on was first base, picking Miguel Cabrera over Eric Hosmer. All precincts have reported!
 
Russell is better than Story. They're probably the same offensively, but Russell is considerably better than him defensively.

I'd put Danny Espinosa and Aledmys Diaz (as well as Seager and Crawford) above both of them. Maybe Zach Cozart too.

Russell doesn't deserved to be on the team period.
