I do, in fact, realize this. I also realize that Fielder was hitting balls to RF where there was not a giant wall or stands to stop the flight and therefore distance of his HRs. Trumbo's line drive HRs to center and lasers that both seemingly dented said wall and went over said wall were significantly more impressive. The players would agree. Prince and his high fly ball HRs weren't nearly as entertaining and I found boring. Prince/hisonedimensionalness/godawfuldefense = overrated.

Read that the Rangers are interested in Justin Upton. One of Andrus, Profar, and Olt will have to be a part of any deal I'm sure. If Profar is as good as people think, I guess Andrus is the most expendable, though I'm a pretty big Andrus fan.

there has now been at least one HR hit in 66 straight games at Great American Ballpark

AJ was the biggest snub this year. Way better year than Mauer and Wieters. Comes through again in the clutch with the bases loaded, down 1 run in the 9th inning. I don't know the stats but he has to be one of the most elite hitters with RISP in 2012 so far.

Really it's Napoli's spot he should've taken. Nap got in because of his post season last year. Mauer and Wieters were deserving.

**El Conquistador** · 07-13-2012, 10:37 PM

He's been better than all three of those representatives, tbf.

**MrMister** · 07-13-2012, 10:38 PM

I ain't even arguing that AJ wasn't deserving. He got snubbed. No denyin'.

Cueto and Brandon Phillips from the Reds were major snubs as well. Phillips is phenomenal with the glove... he might be the best defensive second basemen I have ever seen.
