All-Star Snubs
I recently released the SITW 2012 All-Star Team, which hopefully, in some small way, makes players like Edwin Encarnacion and James MCDonald feel a little bit better. THe SITW All-Star Team is better than no All-Star Team, right? Anyway, here’s a list of the players who were snubbed this year in the All-Star selection and another list with the players who don’t deserve to be on the team below that. Also, here is an article from Bleacher Report: MLB All-Star Game: Fans Should Be Stripped of Right to Vote
