Right now, Molina is the only Giant worthy of the distinction. I do have to agree with you though, Chris Young is a tough one to leave off.

Geez, I wish I had free time for this kind of stuff.

P: DAN HAREN (OAK), Justin Verlander (DET), Josh Beckett (BOS), Johan Santana (MIN), C. C. Sabathia (CLE), John Lackey (LAA), Kelvim Escobar (LAA), Mark Buehrle (CHW), Gil Meche (KC); Francisco Rodriguez (LAA), J. J. Putz (SEA), Jonathan Papelbon (BOS), Scot Shields (LAA), Rafael Betancourt (CLE)I'd put Hideki Okajima in before either Shields or Betancourt.

Notice I put Bonds on my reserves—grudgingly. He has the stats, for career, obviously, but even for this year. And the game is in SF, the only place where people will cheer for him. Nevertheless, I don’t like the guy, and he’s a cheater, at least in the past.

With the year Jojima is having, you’re leaving him off?

Oh yeah, what about Ryan Howard? I know he’s hitting a very pedestrian .250-ish and his slugging pct. is .550-ish, but I could see a few folk from the eastern half of Pennsylvania that might be a little annoyed you left him off. ;)

I'd put Hideki Okajima in before either Shields or Betancourt. Good choice, I can't object. Any two of those three set-up guys would do.
In the NL I picked five closers, but in the AL I picked three closers and two set-up guys.

With the year Jojima is having, you’re leaving him off? Posada and Martinez are having even better years. I picked one backup at each position and then two extra guys. In the AL my two extras were David Ortiz (a DH but hard to leave off) and Carlos Guillen (a SS with big numbers).

I did notice that. My main reason for leaving him off—and I’m saying this as a Giants fan myself—is that I don’t really think he’s playing like an All-Star, or at the very least, not like he’s played since about 1997.
With that said, Bengie Molina certainly deserves an All-Star invite. He’s certainly the one reliable bat in the current Giants lineup. *sigh*

what about Ryan Howard? Pujols and Fielder (in either order) HAVE to make the team, no question. My third 1B is Dmitri Young, ONLY because the Nats have to have a rep. Sorry, Ryan Howard, Derrek Lee, Todd Helton, and Adrian Gonzalez.

Nice to talk about.....but the All-Star game was ruined years ago...when they gave the vote to the "fans".

the All-Star game was ruined years ago...when they gave the vote to the "fans". Actually, the fans are doing a pretty good job at voting this year. Ther 16 leaders right now are almost all the best choices, with only a couple exceptions.

Betancourt is a convicted cheater. No All-Star vote for him.
