Did you see that Papelbon doesn't think that Puig should make the team?

Yes, I did. And I agree with him, sorta. I almost never pick a rookie for an All-Star team. Three months--or in Puig's case, two months--does not an All-Star make.

But Puig is SO hot, off to an incredible start, that it makes it tempting to put him on the team.

BTW, do you know who's doing almost as well this year as Puig, in terms of BA and OPS, for almost the same amount of PAs? Puig's teammate, Hanley Ramirez. But nobody's talking about him.

I watched Puig since June 3 and no one has put excitement in the game like he has, not only at bat but on defense and the base paths.
