Tomahawk is right thought. Ruiz and Molina have been better than Posey this season.

CamillePunk

Did they call any perfect games this season?

Game calling is pretty much irrelevant for the all-star game.

Lulz, there's no need to pretend to be a girl on a wrestling forum either.

Anyway, if you have any actual claims as to why Posey should be the starter other than homer love let it be known.

Well that was a little out of nowhere.

He's the better catcher. I don't care about the all-star game at all, I was just taking exception to the suggestion Ruiz and Molina have been better than Posey this season. Slightly better hitting the ball yes, but I'd take Posey as my catcher if I was pitching over the other two in a heartbeat.

I'm happy for him that he got voted to his first all-star game. He deserves it. No doubt.

He's the better catcher based on what?

Ruiz and Molina are having better years. That's it. Posey won the popularity contest, good for him. It doesn't change the fact that, although he's having a good season, there are players catchers having better seasons. You can take exception to that all you want but the raw numbers and metrics speak for themselves.

Yadi is arguably the best catcher in baseball. Im not just saying this because Im a Cardinals fan. His defense is amazing. Best in the game. Hes having his best year hitting the ball. Hes only one homer away from tying his career high for homers in a season already. Im not sure Im a total believer in Ruiz yet but he does deserve to start in the AS game.

Posey deserves it, but Yadi and Ruiz deserve it more this season. Posey is a top catcher, but this season Molina and Ruiz are better. Panda over Wright is BS too. Sandoval hasn't played the full season.

Also it's not a bad idea to take into account a player's 2nd half from the previous year as well as any post season heroics. Yadi > Posey here too, though Posey had the unfortunate injury.

That's why even as a Rangers fan I think Napoli deserves it over Mauer, Wieters, and AJ in the AL. Nap was incredible in the 2nd half and post season.


CAN'T BELIEVE NO ONE WILL GIVE ME A COURTESY POST SO I DON'T OMG DOUBLE POST


Ok, the MInnesota Twins can hit. I'm not saying they're the Yankees or Rangers or Angels here but they have some guys that can collectively ruin a pitcher's day. If only they could get some pitching they'd be a contender. Diamond and Liriano aren't horrible, but you need more than two decent starters.
