Is player A on a team that's first place in their division and is a superior defensive outfielder? And, is player B on a team that has the worst record in the AL, second worst record in all of baseball?
If those are the facts, I'll go with player A.
Last time I give props to one of my fantasy team players.

lol until the Phillies get a hold of him...
Phillies rough up a lot of pitchers. But Cueto especially got owned tonight. He gave up 9 earned and couldn't get out of the first. There goes my ERA and WHIP for the week.
His ERA almost rose an entire point in one night...that hurts.
because a team record has to do with how good a certain player is?
a player like hudson is good but when he bats in front of manny he is better
that should be taken into consideration
No, because a team dead last in the conference shouldn't have more than one all star.
Empty stats.
so the player should be punished if he has allstar numbers but his teamate pitchers suck ass
got it
so if you put up allstar numbers you should demand out so you can go to allstar game got it
oh I guess you are mad dbacks have 2 allstars this year plus they might get a THIRD ONE ( mark)
thursday we will see
oh and he has the best stats out of them all that could go
Arizona isn't "dead last" in the NL. Washington is. And let me clarify. Although I don't think last place teams should get multiple all stars, if they are clearly no-brainer all stars with crazy numbers, fine. The player mentioned is not putting up no-brainer all star numbers. If two borderline all stars are competing for one spot, then I go with the player on the first place team over the player on the last place team. Makes sense to me. But yeah, in general, last place teams in the league shouldn't have multiple all stars, with rare exceptions.
haha you looked it up
all I'm saying is Granderson with that .250 BA isn't an All Star
Didn't have to look up Granderson. I recognized his stats. Looked up the Indians team stats because I figured you would be using an Indians player as the other player.
A .250 - .260 batting average isn't great at all. I would agree with that. He obviously was selected by the players for reasons aside from that. Maybe because he has the most HRs for a centerfielder in the AL, third most of any AL outfielder after Dye and Bay. Maybe because he's developed into one of the top defensive centerfielders. Maybe because of his combination of speed and power, since he has the second most HRs of any AL player with at least 15 stolen bases. Maybe other players think he's just a uva nice kid who is a student of the game and deserves it. Who knows? They definitely weren't voting for him for his batting average. But, they disagree with you that he's not an all star. So, I guess it doesn't matter if you don't think he is or not.
Shrugs.
I agree here. If anyone from the Tigers should have made it, it should have been Miggy!!!
48 Runs
16 HR's
47 RBI
.322 BA
Come on!!!
Outfield v. infield.
I would have designated Youkilis as a third baseman and added Cabrera on the roster over Michael Young.
Granderson isn't hitting the ball great for average, but everything else about his game is above average to great. Players who voted for him were probably impressed with the combined HRs and steals probably. That's always been something highly regarded for many years. Going way back when Canseco was the first 40/40 guy. Then you look at when Soriano did it a few years ago, it was also an impressive feat. Even 30/30 is hard to do and Granderson is on pace to do it. And you look at the majors right now, Granderson and Kinsler are probably the two players in the entire majors that have a legitimate chance at going 30/30 or better this year.
I have no problem if someone thinks Granderson doesn't deserve to be an all star. He's absolutely a borderline all star. But, I'm happy for the kid because he does work hard, he studies the game, knows it's history, and is conducts himself great on and off the field. Obviously, I'm a Tigers fan, so as such, I'm also happy he gets the benefit of the doubt from other players in the league that he's impressed them enough to earn a spot.
Isn't Lind a DH? It's at a NL park this year. If you're a DH, you risk being overlooked like that.
It's a good thing the fans for a 2nd straight year haven't let the stupid big market affect them and have voted Hanley Ramirez in over both Rollins and Reyes. In 2007 it was disgusting to see Reyes start in the all star game while Hanley didn't even make it.
Adam Dunn is on pace for 44 HRs and 118 RBIs even with the last place Nats. He certainly deserves to go to the AS Game.
maybe he does not strike out
but dunn can not field worth anything
first base outfield
nothing
