I'm just happy Moose doesn't suck anymore.
You guys can keep arguing, while I celebrate the true victory. Could you imagine having Omar and last year's Moose in our lineup as it is right now? See everyone else in the ASG after the Royals inning is over. ![]() |

What will be interesting is seeing the Royals play the NL allstars and seeing if we will win.

Its nice to be in the Lebron situation where you cant lose. Win and the Royals single handily beat the NL All Stars, lose and its well its one team losing to the best the other entire league has to offer.

Every year several players start ahead of more deserving players, and people have always laughed it off as just one of those things at the all-star game. No one really gave a damn until it was KC getting too many starters.

I'm not sure how I feel about the All-Star game being primarily Royals starters. Normally, I'd be thrilled, but this offense just isn't good right now. I just hope they don't get no-hit or something.

But how would it affect the power rankings if the all Royals team beat the NL ?

MLB is actually probably loving seeing all the Royals in the lead for a couple of reasons.
A) All Star Game voting is getting huge PR right now, media bitching left and right in all of the MLB cities and nationwide B) Other fan bases will soon start voting like crazy = more interest in the event C) Small market thriving = good for sport in general D) Royals do have some marketable players: Hosmer, Cain, and Perez would be major superstars in a large market. Especially with advertisers in the case of Hosmer and Cain. |

Arguing about Bautista vs. Morales is irrelevant, since Bautista is on the ballot as an OF. He isn't listed as a DH.
Alex Rodriguez IS listed as a DH, so he can be discussed. The three guys who deserve the most talk for the ASG at that spot are A-Rod, Morales and Cruz. I have no problem saying Cruz deserves the nod in the starting spot. But A-Rod? Much more of a borderline thing with Morales. Yeah, he has 5 more HR. But some of that is due to the ballpark factor - he has three Yankee stadium home runs. Take those away, and his OPS drops right back into the same arena as Morales. So I've got no problem with considering the two in the same realm of consideration as All-Stars.

Rodriguez's ISO is almost 60 points higher than Morales. That's not just a function of Yankee Stadium. He also draws 70% more walks than Morales and his wRC is 20% higher. There isn't a single advanced metric that supports Morales' candidacy. Fielder has also hit significantly better than Morales as well. So take Bautista out of it. His numbers still don't stack up to Cruz, Fielder, or Rodriguez. |

And most of America hates ARoid (outside of NY), so there's a reason he's not getting a lot of votes. Nobody wants to see him in an All-Star game. As much as people want to see Cruz over Morales, I'm sure most would rather see Morales there over ARoid and the voting seems to reflect that. Unlike Cruz, ARoids not even close on votes. Too bad for him. |
