Starlin Castro All-Star?

Stats Comparsions, etc...

He has to be. At 21 years old, he looks solid. At least with the bat and the D will keep improving. He's 2 in the NL with hits (95) behind Mets' Jose Reyes and 3rd in the MLB.

He will probably make it for sure because the Cubs will need a representive. But that should not be the case. He won't make it with the fan voting but with the players/coaches.

So, what do you think?

Offensively he's definitely the 2nd best SS so far but defensively he's bottom of the barrel. And I'm guessing the Cubs representative will come from the bullpen. So I'm voting no

MKarshall has stuggled as of late big time. Marmol has been up and down. Wood has been inconsistent. On and on.

Also, fans don't vote in pitchers..managers do.

i cant think of anyone else that would rep the cubs. he would have to be it.

:yep:

Garza has been better than Castro. Marmol could rep us again. I think it's pretty much a crap shoot between Castro, Marms, and Garza.

We're talking about FIP bro!

He has been our best pitcher this year. That's not very hard to see. I never said he would get it, but he certainly deserves it.

garza as an all star is one of the funniest things I have seen posted in a while. should he be in because of FIP and LD% or his K/9? lol too funny

best pitcher on the cubs sure, the best player is castro.

 

[Captain Obvious]

I disagree. Garza has been better than Castro this year.

Why do you think Garza shouldn't be an all-star?

 

[Uman85]

A 3-win pitcher with a 4.14 ERA, an all-star?

I'm not saying that he will be, because those are the kinds of things they look at. I'm saying he should be.

but his FIP dude! haha!!!!!

Reyes will be and should be voted the NL SS starter. Reyes has been unbelievable. I think that the Cubs will only get one representative and that is a toss up between Marmol and Castro. Marmol has put up sick numbers this year and really has been pretty consistent. Marmol currently has a 2.78 ERA, 12 K/9 and 14 saves. Also he hasn't allowed a single inherited runner score out of 8 so far this year. He has blown 4 save opportunites, but for most of the year he has been a lock down guy.

I think who they go with really goes with the breakdown of the All-Star team. Castro is a pretty good bet, but I wouldn't be shocked to see Marmol chosen over him.
