Whit has had a better overall season than Torres (who is injured and may not even play in it). That being said, the real snub at 2B was Jed Lowrie. He should have been in right behind Altuve.
Its kind of weird the AL went with so many pitchers and so few bench players (only 2 catchers, 2 1B, 2 2B, 2 3B). I guess that will mean a lot of playing time in the ASG for those thin positions. Since they only went with 2 3B, I get why Moose wasn’t picked. Ramirez was always going to be the starter and Bregman is having a better year than Moose.
So for those reasons, I see why they went with Salvy, even if he didn’t deserve it as much as the aforementioned other two . . . . .
