Yes, the fans did it for years, some cities loading up the teams with players from their local team. But that was the starters. I don't recall how the rest of the team was filled out. And after that abuse, the voting was changed and I'm not sure who voted for the AS team. Later

Edgy MD wrote: We might do well to base our All Star Game selections on the totality of a player's performance since the previous All-Star Game, not merely on his current half season or less. What about ageing stars with declining performance at the end of their careers. Should they be honored by being named to the All Star squad? I think this was done when the writers voted. Later

Kick the tires before you light the fires. Later

IIRC, he TOOK too many shots - of his thingie, and sent them to office personnel. Or was that the other short term GM? Later

I'm sure Billy Eppler and Brodie are still available if you'd rather have them. I give Stearns the benefit of the doubt. I miss Jim Duquette. I miss Frank Cashen. Later

That's what you get for doing a good job. Later

Ramon Castro for Lance (He never saw his name in lights on)Broadway. Later

In the last couple of years, it seemed that immediately after the draft, some of the draftees popped up on organization's top 30 prospect lists, some in the top 10. I wonder if any of these guys will make those lists, and if they do , how highly will they be ranked. I'd like them draft a slugging outfielder who doesn't have to stand on his tip toes when he orders at the McDonald's counter. Later

They keep hiring those nearsighted scouts who can't see beyond the infield. Later

The snub is going to fire up Soto. He'll be thinking, "I'm not an all-star? I'll show you why I should be the MVP". He's going to put up huge numbers in the rest of the season. Later

(He's listed at 5'9".) They have a string going of drafting short players high (Williams and Morabito are both listed at 5'9"). What ever happened to "Kids are getting bigger these days?" The player many draftniks had them taking (and I wanted them to get), a power hitting outfielder from the U of Oregon, was taken by the Orioles with the pick before Voit. With pick 102, the Mets selected Antonio Jimenez, SS, Central Florida, and I have no idea how big he is. But he seems to have good potential: https://ucfknights.com/news/2025/07/14/jimenez-selected-by-mets-in-third-round-of-2025-mlb-drafthttps://ucfknights.com/news/2025/07/14/jimenez-selected-by-mets-in-third-round-of-2025-mlb-draft Later

Using Diaz for 2 innings. I guess they're not going to use him tomorrow, so he can pitch in the ASG. Later

I'd take Delgado's four years over Cespedes five years or at least give Carlos honorable mention, too.. Later
