Thread: Who Should Start the All-Star Game for the AL?

  1. #1

    Who Should Start the All-Star Game for the AL?

    I personally think it should be Chris Sale, he leads the MLB in ERA+ with 195 (Weaver is a distant second at 178), has a great strikeout-to-walk ratio, and has basically not had a bad outing all year. If not Sale, though, I'd be OK with Verlander. What do you guys think?

    Price and not just because i am a Rays fan but because he has out pitched just about every ACE he has gone against. Verlander,CC Ect. Would of been 12-4 but Pen imploded against the yanks and he only allowed a run against them.

    The question is Who should start the All-Start game for the AL. I voted for "other" as I think Josh Hamilton should start the All-Star game for the AL and I didn't see him among the choices.
    Holding a pitcher accountable for how many runs his team scores is like holding the designated hitter accountable for how many runs his team allows.

    An individual statistic is meaningful only if it is based strictly on what the player does and not on what the other players on his team do.
