Fans voting should account for 51% of the vote, the other 49% should be voted on by the BBWAA.

This concludes my annual All-Star Game unpopular opinion portion of the programming.

Thank you.
I feel like MLB and NFL are the only sports where this would be OK. The all star rosters are big enough where you can fit in 1 guy from every team, and still have more than enough spots left over for the rest of the team. No matter what, there will ALWAYS be all star snubs.


I wonder what happens in the event that a team trades their lone all-star representative before the all star game itself. Will they just have 0 players representing them? That's a very possible scenario for the Jays and O's.

Len and Jim are speculating that Javier Baez might participate in the HRD.

While I would love to see him compete, I'm afraid of what it would do to his swing/approach for the second half

He already swings at nearly everything anyways, so it can't hurt his approach too much

Hell, it might even have the opposite effect. He might starting taking walks.
