Of all years for us to vote a guy in

Yeah, I’m sure Gurriel wasn’t even close.?

Kinda funny given Abreu's recent performance, but we must also recall how dominating he was for a month or so prior. So, congrats to Abreu -- but lets hope he corrects himself soon. 

 

lol ?

Good for him. He deserved this nod last year.

It’s a nice career achievement award.

Congratulations to Jose Abreu. He is everything that's good about baseball in Chicago. Too bad the team blows.

Congrats to him.

Congrats to Jose, but that is quite comical. Such an unpopular bad team gets a pretty unknown player voted in, its not Frank Thomas we are talking about.  First base has sure dropped off in the AL

Off topic but Blake Snell getting snubbed is pretty crazy. AL final vote is really tough, too. Rosario, Benintendi, Segura, Simmons, Stanton. Those first four are all deserving.

Meanwhile in the NL, Aguilar and Muncy don't make it at all

They shouldn't let every team have one guy. But this is like a lifetime service award for Abreu. He deserves that.

He was voted in..it had nothing to do with every team getting one guy. I mean..

I can't find it in my heart to say one bad word about Jose Abreu. Congrats to him and may you break out of your slump with a wrath so furious that it silences all critics.

“It means a lot when you realize all the time that has passed since the last White Sox [player] started in the All-Star Game … That made this moment even greater. Like I’ve always said, I like to represent this organization. I like to wear these colors. I always do my best to represent this team. It’s a really, really big honor. When you receive news like this, it’s like a relief. You are maybe having a tough time and you have news like this, it’s something that helps you to keep moving forward.”

I wonder if this news will help get him out of his slump

It's laughable how bad the 1b is in the AL. Jose has been straight awful lately. He lucked out this year. Good thing he completely killed his trade value. I'm sure he'll play better in the second half when the deadline is over per usual
