AMERICAN LEAGUE

Curtis Granderson CF

Asdrubal Cabrera SS

Adrian Gonzalez 1B

Jose Bautista RF

Josh Hamilton LF

Adrian Beltre 3B

David Ortiz DH

Robinson Cano 2B

Alex Avila C

---------

Jered Weaver RHP

 

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Rickie Weeks 2B

Carlos Beltran DH

Matt Kemp CF

Prince Fielder 1B

Brian McCann C

Lance Berkman RF

Matt Holliday LF

Troy Tulowitzki SS

Scott Rolen 3B

------------

Roy Halladay RHP

 

A few notes: The managers (Ron Washington and Bruce Bochy) just did a press conference with the starters. Washington indicated that he would use Jose Valverde to close, which is an interesting choice. With Mariano Rivera out, he has to come up with something. ... Bochy said he wanted a third catcher, which is why Miguel Montero of Arizona was a late addition instead of another first baseman such as Ryan Howard or Albert Pujols. ... The teams will be having press availability next, the NL followed by the AL. We'll have updates all day.

[Cocos Disciples]

Do they usually have DHs when the ASG is in an NL park?

[suns]

I ,love seeing droobs batting 2nd

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I heard it's the first time they do this.

[Thunder]

2 things wrong:

 

Why do the managers who got to the World Series one year have to be the ASG managers the next?

 

It's an insult to have Papi hit 7th.

Where do you want to see Papi bat?

Granderson is the obvious leadoff

Droobs is the obvious #2.

Adrian Gonzalez could be moved.

Bautista has to be at 4.

Josh Hamilton at 5 is a ok choice.

Beltre at 6 could be switched with Ortiz.

That's just how they select the managers.

 

An insult would be Papi not making the All Star team. Batting 7th in THAT line up is not an insult.

[BornToRun]

Is this going to be the gamethread for the allstar game tonight?

[AtWork]

Beckett will pitch the second inning.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Is this going to be the gamethread for the allstar game tonight?

 

No, this is the All-Star Game Thread, not the All-Star Gamethread. Duhhh.

 

 

...yes, this is it.

[CX360]

Joe Buck sounds disinterested.

[ORS]

Is Moneyball compelling as a movie? I don't think so.

[jacksonianmarch]

Beckett felt something in his knee warming up, and had to be pulled

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

As long as Robertson doesn't give up a run I couldn't care less to be honest.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

And a beautiful catch from Bautista.

[Youk Of The Nation]

First hit

[d-money]

It better be cautionary.Jesus.At this rate this team might need to get a starting pitcher via trade just in case.

[alphilip77]

I really hope that tweak doesn't f*** with Beckett heading into Tampa...

[MNSoxChief102]

Beckett felt something in his knee warming up' date=' and had to be pulled[/quote']

 

Was just getting ready to post that... hopefully Josh is alright

[jacksonianmarch]

Did he get an MRI last week?
