Starless in Seattle? Not quite. But the landscape for the 93rd MLB All-Star Game is looking a little bleak, writes Ken_Rosenthal. Nevertheless, someone has the take the field. Did he get his picks correct?
Elder leads the NL in ERA and is ninth in innings. His peripherals aren’t great, but I was not about to exclude him. Steele and Wacha are fourth and fifth, respectively, in ERA, with similar and strikeout and walk rates; I could have gone either way.
I wish I could include Chavez, who would be making his first All-Star appearance at 39, and Doval, too, is deserving. Just couldn’t find room for ‘em all. Phase Two of the fan balloting ends at noon Thursday. Ronald Acuña Jr. and Shohei Ohtani earned spots during Phase One by leading their respective leagues in votes. The rest of the starters will be revealed Thursday at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN. The finalists who do not win are not automatically added to the rosters.
The player ballots will account for 17 players in each league, eight pitchers as well as one backup at each position. The commissioner’s office is responsible for selecting six additional players in each league, four pitchers and two position players, but operates with limited flexibility while making sure each team is represented. The complete rosters will be announced Sunday at 5:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
