Welp, Shark was a NL all star and then he got traded lol. Does that actually count?

Welp, Castro makes it. Rizzo does not. I suspected this would happen. Rizzo has been the better player, but position wise, Castro was probably the right choice.

Ramirez also made it for the Sox. Two Chicago SS at the game.

Abreu made it too. Pretty surprised they took Castro over Rizzo

Why in God's name is Matt Carpenter in the All Star game??

He has mediocre, at best, offensive numbers, and is "just a guy" now that he is at 3rd. Wow, there must be a hell of a void at 3rd in the NL.

Hopefully Riz gets voted in. He deserves it. Crazy to think these Cubs could potentially have 3 guys in the game.

Also glad to see Aramis as the starting 3B, too. That's awesome! So that makes 3 and a half Cubs, potentially. (Aramis is still Cub enough to me)

I'd have had Shark as an AL write in

True but Rizzo has been the team MVP plus he's probably what #2 in the NL at first?

Na, Goldschmidt and Freeman are def. over him then its probably him. Dont get me wrong, Rizzo deserves to play in it but I see why he wasnt chosen. I think him and Sale should win the fan vote as well. They are the best players on the ballot. Also, I dont think Castro was just picked because the Cubs needed a representative. He was voted in by the players. Shark was on it and was replaced by Julio Teheran.

I'll be honest here, I think the all-star status is kind of a sham to begin with. I get the idea and all but requiring every team to have one really sells out the value of it. And often you end up with people who don't deserve to go but make it because either the manager has favorites. But, it's nice to see Castro got some love. I still think Rizzo deserved it more. Also nice to see Shark got love.

Cue up the whiners.....I wonder if Castro would have made it if Shark wasn't traded.
