After an awful start, third baseman Aramis Ramirez is on a roll and manager Dusty Baker believes he should be considered for the National League All-Star team.

"He's a strong All-Star consideration to me," Baker said. "This guy has come a long way to get where he is, especially after his slow start. He's playing exceptional baseball."

Heading into last week, St. Louis' Scott Rolen led the N.L. third basemen in voting with 941,631 with Ramirez second at 659,533.


I don't think Rolen should be starting because he was injured for quite a while. Not sure Aramis should start either, but I can't think of who has done better.
