June 15, 20232 yr https://www.mlb.com/news/all-star-ballot-update-june-12-2023 No sign of Luis Robert in the top twenty for OF. Anderson not even Top Ten...not a shocker, really. Edited June 15, 20232 yr by caulfield12
June 15, 20232 yr Sox have two tenth place guys listed: DH Burger 57,408 C Grandal 52,035 Not in top ten: Vaughn under 34,701 Andrus under 38,420 Moncada under 67,944 Anderson under 43,651 Entire OF under 108,982 Burger, Robert Jr. or Santos really the lone three deserving of consideration for the auto pick.

Giolito would be 3rd choice, or Hendriks in particular, if strictly about feel good stories for the media...well, sort of, now that he's out again. Has to be Burger (best combination of Cinderella story and performance) or Robert IMO.
June 20, 20232 yr Burger has dropped below 10th place DH AJ Pollock in the recent update, Yasmani "Elite" Grandal is the lone White Sox Top 10 / 20 (OF) representative at 121,023, or 770,000 plus behind first place AL Catcher Adley Rutschman.
June 20, 20232 yr None of this bothers me anymore, the ASG is a farce and has turned into a popularity contest. Fans shouldn't be allowed to vote or if they are should only be allowed to vote one time, like in a political election. Every team also should not be represented. If you are a bad team, you shouldn't be rewarded with a mediocre player getting picked just to have representation.

June 20, 20232 yr Just now, The Grinder said: Do we really have an all star on this beer league team? Robert?
June 20, 20232 yr 2 minutes ago, Chisoxfn said: Robert? He’s 13th in MLB (among all players) in fWAR and the top CF in the AL right now, so barring anything drastic he should be their lone representative.
June 20, 20232 yr MLB will have the Sox ASG representative be Gregory Santos, Keynan Middleton, or Kendall Graveman
June 20, 20232 yr Nobody should be shocked. This is the annual All-Star game for the best players so far in the first half. Sadly we don't have any obvious no brainers. The fact is, the Sox are lucky MLB has this long time rule that at least one player must make the All-Star team. We should be thankful Jerry is so much smarter than most of other owners and his GM has done such a great job putting this winning roster together.
