The All-Star Roster...
I'm happy to see Jim Thome heading to Houston for the All-Star game.
He certainly deserves it, but I am bitterly disappointed to see Bobby Abreu get snubbed.
-He's having another one of his terrific years: he is third in NL outfielders in OBP, sixth in BA, and fifth in slugging average. You can't tell me that Miguel Cabrera is a better player or more deserving of going to Houston than Bobby Abreu.
-Unfortunately I don't really think that the Phils have anyone else deserving of a trip to Houston ... aside from Doug Glanville?
(Kidding! Sorry for the raised blood-pressure ...)
-I know that MLB wants to fans to be involved, but Jason Giambi as the AL's starting first baseman? That's just wrong. It's also, I suspect, a product of the voting power of Yankees fans: coincidence that the AL starting infield is either current (Giambi, A-Rod, Jeter) or ex (Soriano) Yankees?
-David Ortiz should start at first for the AL, and anyone saying differently doesn't know what they are talking about.
Way to go, Jim!
