Terry's Other Team: NL All-Stars 2016

[bmfc1]

Which Mets will join Terry Collins, his coaches and the trainers in San Diego for the All-Star Game?
I'm thinking: Walker, Cespedes, Syndergaard, Matz, Familia.

Seems like the Cubs have taken a page from the 2015 Royals.

Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if Heyward displaced Yo.

Yo stays at #3:

Yo continues to be #3. It's nice that 3 positions, as of now, will not be Cubs:

Yo still in position to start in the NL OF, seems pretty safe in third place overall with a few days to go. Neil Walker is the only other Met who shows up anywhere in the balloting.

Gotta believe Familia and Thor join him in SD.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Too many damn Cubs.

Final update before the big reveal on July 5 ("Fan voting for All-Star starters closes at 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, and the starting lineups will be announced on ESPN on July 5.").

[bmfc1]

Given the current state of the Mets, I wonder if Noah will be named but not play. Walker should make it but Murphy will back him up. Colon should be considered. It could just be Cespedes and Familia from the Mets.

[G-Fafif]

The natural instinct for as many as Mets as possible is at odds with the desire to rest everybody. They finish first half at home on a Sunday, they start second half in Philly on Friday. Round trip to San Diego is a long journey for the tipping of caps. Plus I can see Cespedes's hip aggravating somewhere over Missouri (where little good ever happens to Mets) when he gets up to use the lavatory.

You mean, when he gets up to "roll a Cuban?"

I like to think the celebratory nature of a few days doing 'baseball stuff' but not competitively is a better mental break than just taking 4 days off.

[Frayed Knot]

Cespedes (as starter), plus Syndergaard & Familia

And Bartolo!

HOORAH!!!

Get outta here!

[Edgy MD]

It would turn the game into a farce if he got a chance to bat.

DO IT, TERRY!

Maybe Terry'll start Colon, too.

Niiiiice.

[G-Fafif]

Wondering if employer referring to employee as Big Sexy constitutes harassment.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Is Colon the oldest pitcher all-star ever? Oldest all-star ever?

[RealityChuck]

No. Satchell Paige was 47, and Rivera was a few months older.
