2010 Major League Baseball All-Star Game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Padre pitchers got snubbed, but you can't even knock the selections of Arthur Rhodes and Evan Meek. It's been that kind of year for pitchers.

It is an absolute joke that Joey Votto is having to rely on the "last man in" clause to get on the team. If he is not on it I will not watch that joke of a game. He was arguably the MVP for the entire league and may get left off for one of the bigger overrated first basemen in baseball because of who the manager is. Adam Dunn deserved to be an all star more than Howard let alone Votto.

I think the voters got it right, for the most part. Its hard to pick at least one player from every team, so there are snubs every year.

love this: NL 1B WAR
1st Joey Votto, 3.6
2nd Albert Pujols, 3.1
3rd Adrian Gonazlez, 3.1
4th Aubrey Huff, 2.6
5th Adam Dunn, 2.3
6th Gaby Sanchez, 2.3
7th Prince Fielder, 2.1
8th Ryan Howard, 1.3
Jayson Stark, ESPN:
I can defend almost every NL all-star pick. But leaving Joey Votto off this team is one of the most outrageous all-star snubs in years.

Larry Stone, Seattle Times:
Omar Infante makes the team, and Joey Votto doesn't. Yikes. He has a higher OPS than Albert Pujols.
Did Joey Votto really not make the team? That's an outrage

You can say that people get snubbed every year but look at Joey's stats
BA: 5th in NL
HR: 2nd in NL
RBI: 5th in NL
Hits: 11th in NL
SLG: 3rd in NL
OBP: 3rd in NL
OPS: 1st in NL
Runs: 4th in NL
Is there a category besides that in terms of offensive numbers? This wouldnt just be a snub it would be freaking grand theft. Votto has been on everyone's list as "first half MVP" but yet he isnt a guarenteed a spot on the all star game?

MAHAHAHAHA, John Buck. Priceless.
Look at all the first time pitchers on the AL roster. Wow.

Heyward won't play, there will be others that bow out due to injuries, Votto will end up in the game and he'll prolly be in the Derby too.

Then why just say that Bell and/or Latos got jobbed? FFS.
Why didn't you say that in the first post?

There were two, maybe three pitchers in my mind before I bothered to google their stats. That doesn't mean I think having the #1 ranked pitching staff means anything in regards to selecting all stars out of the staff, if there are any.
