I guess Votto is the lock. I don't look at stats that much but except for A. Gonzalez and Todd Helton there really aren't many "name" players. I do agree that as well as he hit last year, to not be named says a great deal. Freeman and Craig are about the only others I can pull out of my limited memory.sjm308https://www.blogger.com/profile/01236550495879254916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-27669855759230063562013-05-08T15:52:58.198-04:002013-05-08T15:52:58.198-04:00Ghost, if ALR hits .450 for the next 6 weeks with ...Ghost, if ALR hits .450 for the next 6 weeks with lots of XBH, I'll bet Bochey would pick him. One good thing is that managers want to win these games so their time will have home field advantage in the WS. So they're looking to fill their rosters with good, hot players if they can. <br /><br />But even if ALR's slow start is over, he won't hit that well.Section 222https://www.blogger.com/profile/17106128453333996193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-17219987810869269082013-05-08T15:32:49.055-04:002013-05-08T15:32:49.055-04:00ATL reliever just gave up a home run.

But I sometimes think it's better for our team if they get some R and R. The ASG is so far away. Who knows what players will be hot? Mostly a personality contest and a reflection of the teams with huge fan bases. I am cynical about the process. Someday I would love to watch two teams that are truly made up of the very best players.baseballswamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03473384422940931212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-44918866363586496872013-05-08T15:27:44.671-04:002013-05-08T15:27:44.671-04:00Faraz the article read said he was hopeful to pitc...Faraz the article read said he was hopeful to pitch... next year.
