What follows is what my National League All-Star team would look like...A major standard applied here is that you've got to pick players based on performance in the first half of the 2009 seasonIt's nice that he included Matt Kemp, but Russell Martin???? Strange pick for the stated criteria of "you've got to pick players based on performance in the first half of the 2009 season."
Bench: Matt Kemp, Dodgers; Ryan Braun, Brewers; Russell Martin, Dodgers; Adam Dunn, Nationals; Joey Votto, Reds; Chipper Jones, Braves; Brandon Phillips, Reds; Troy Tulowitzki, Rockies
He then goes on to list the pitchers he'd select...
Tim Lincecum, GiantsOk, first off Randy Wolf isn't even the best pitcher on his own team!!! What really tickles me though is how he defends his pick of the Wolfman...
Josh Johnson, Marlins
Francisco Rodriguez, Mets
Heath Bell, Padres
Ryan Franklin, Cardinals
Arthur Rhodes, Reds
Nick Masset, Reds
Randy Wolf, Dodgers
Wolf's dominance against lefties has been so extraordinary that I'd use him in a late-inning matchup: Lefties have a .111 batting average against with just two extra-base hits (one homer) in 81 at-bats.You want someone you can use in a late-inning matchup? How about a guy that actually pitches in the late innings, a guy that sees Wolf's .111 batting average against lefties and thinks to himself, "that guy sucks", a guy who has only allowed ONE extra base hit himself in 72 at-bats. But damn, where are you going to find someone like that.
