@@homerunproductions162 Not over Tucker, but Duran is a very good option as a pinch runner, pinch hitter or as a defensive sub. But I understand that more deserving players get crowded out by at least 1 per team.

Crochet is having a good run, after his last start he's pretty much right in line with Fedde's season overall. If you want the hot hand then Crochet for sure
Not only did you get the number of Guardians right, you even got the right guys and only missed on if they'd be starters or reserves. Best prediction for them this year.
I thought Kwan was borderline to even make it given his games played, surprised he grabbed a starting spot. I thought Naylor got robbed but after I made this video, Vlad really did come on strong to deserve that starting spot
Westburg and Mountcastle deserve to be at least reserves. Mountcastle is beating Guerro Jr. in votes right now, and Westburg is second place for third base voting, only behind Jose Ramirez.
Mountcastle i agree should be the reserve but had to give a spot to vlad as the blue jay rep. As for Westburg, i still dont think he tops Devers for the 2 spot and of course i had to put parades so the rays had a guy
As a rays fan Zack Little should be our one rep Paredes has not helped out the team this year he has good personal stats but he does not really help the team the same way Randy did last year
@homerunproductions162 As an orioles, fan, it's because you neglected to start Mounty, at alone have him, and you neglected to include Westy as the reserve for 3rd base
Mountcastle over Naylor though? I don't know about that. Westburg is in the mix but I still would have picked Devers over him even if I didn't need to add Paredes
Homerunprductions162 Vladdy is leading the AL in OPS and batting average for first baseman. Don’t get me wrong Naylor and Westberg are having great seasons but the stats speak for itself. Ps. He’s first In all star voting
As a Padres fan, thank you so much. Unfortunately, Fernando Tatis won't be able to make it as he is down for a number of months (perhaps the season) with a femur injury.
I would think Hunter Greene should get in over Logan Webb. he beats Webb in WAR, K's (stats in which He's in the top 3 and top 10 respectively) and has given up WAY less hits. And also why on earth would you choose Erick Fedde over Garrett Crochet for the white Sox
Now disagree with Yamamoto, Assad, and Sale over Cris Sanchez at the very least and also Skenes. Those top 3 are all great, but Sanchez has been so elite at limiting homers and has better eras than all of them. Would say especially Yamamoto and Assad out for Skenes and Sanchez but that's me personally as a Phillies fan
Josh Smith deserves more love for the year he's having stepping in for Jung. Dude is a bright spot in a dark time for the Rangers. Tough to make the roster though, I get that.
IMO there should be at least one lefty bullpen guy per league, so I'd replace either Miller or Blanco (if we were to go 4 relievers) with Herrin in the AL. Otherwise, solid list.
You gotta feel bad for Reynolds tho he’s playing unreal right now 22 game hit streak and has been hitting bombs consistently lately he should definitely be a starter if jurickson profar wasn’t having such a great year. I do think Colin holderman might make it he’s been having a sub 1 era for the entire year until last game.
I know I wish I could have added him but because a couple teams still needed a rep he was the odd man out. He's the top choice for an injury replacement in my books
My MLB All-Star roster looks like this AL 1B: Ryan Mountcastle 2B: Marcus Semien 3B: José Ramirez SS: Gunnar Henderson OF: Juan Soto OF: Aaron Judge OF: Anthony Santander C: Adley Rutschman DH: Brent Rooker NL 1B: Bryce Harper 2B: Brice Turang 3B: Alec Bohm SS: Elly de la Cruz OF: Teoscar Hernandez OF: Nick Castellanos OF: Ian Happ C: Will Smith DH: Shohei Ohtani
My 32 Man National League Roster is very similar to yours. I do not think Elly de la Cruz should be an All Star. Instead put Spencer Steer who has a lot of RBI's in the outfield. I like Bryan Reynolds as being the only Pirate and Tanner Scott being the only Marlin. I wish I could add Kyle Schwarber, Masyn Winn, Aaron Nola, and Sonny Gray but there simply no more spots. My National League picks are below. First Base Bryce Harper Freddie Freeman Christian Walker Pete Alonso Second Base Ketel Marte Luiz Arraez Short Stop Mookie Betts Willy Addames Third Base Alec Bohm Ryan McMahon Catcher William Contreras Will Smith Designated Hitter Shoi Ohtani Marcell Ozuna Outfield Teoscar Hernandez Jurickson Profrar Fernando Tatis Christian Yellich Spencer Steer Bryan Reynolds Starting Pitchers Reynaldo Lopez Ranger Suarez Shoto Imanaga Zach Wheeler Chris Sale Javier Ashaad Logan Webb Tyler Glasnow Relief Pitchers Ryan Helsley Kyle Finnegan Robert Suarez Tanner Scott
@@homerunproductions162 I also disagree with putting Patrick Bailey on the roster. I feel that Christian Walker of the Diamondbacks is having a better season. I know it is four first basemen but Alonso needs to represent the Mets.
I thought you were giving unbiased picks? Will Smith has a 3.3 fWAR to Contreras's 2.2, mostly due to Contreras's lack of defense and -1.2 pitch framing. Also Arraez has only stated 39 or 90 games at 2nd base, because he's not a great defender, thus the Padres have mostly started him at DH since acquiring him. Reserve at 2nd should go to Brice Turang or Jonathan India, both who tower over Arraez in WAR 2.4 and 2.3 to Arraez's 0.5 fWAR. Short should be De La Cruz, with Francisco Lindor as a reserve. Both Winker and Reynolds shouldn't see reserve spots, both have had terrible defense this year. Cal Raleigh, Ryan Jeffers, Ben Rortvedt, and Logan 0'Hoppe are the top 4 catchers in WAR in the AL. Carlos Santana should be considered at 1st, as his defense has been at the top of the league. Steven Kwan should probably be a starter in the outfield, and Jarren Duran should be in over Santander. Garrett Crochet leads the AL in WAR, and he's not even on the team?
You rely heavily on WAR which is good for factoring in defense, I rely more on OPS since these positions are mainly decided on who has the best offense. When I made this video Crochet had an ERA about a quarter run worse than Fedde, he got hot as of late and now he's the obvious pick
@@homerunproductions162 Baseball is a 2 way game, not just an offensive game. It's probably more prevalent with catchers more than anybody, as they not only have offensive and defensive duties, they have pitch framing and game calling duties. JT Realmuto hasn't been the best hitting catcher, he's a good hitting catcher who's been the best overall catcher in the majors. Same could be said about other players like Francisco Lindor at short, or Marcus Semien at 2nd. ect.
I started with Smith as the starter, but with Contreras putting in 9 more games, hitting for a higher average, HR and RBI very close, also he's stolen 5 bases, I think that made up for Smith's OPS advantage so I swapped them
Buddy, ever heard of KENLEY JANSEN he is literally like 6 or 7 all time for career saves. At the VERY least least put him as a replacement. He is better than Taylor Scott se at least give Kenley his spot. Oh yeah where is Jarren Duran on this list?
Kenley is having a good year, you could def make a case. I put Duran as a replacement, his stats were right in line with Riley Greene, you could probably have put him on here over Santander but it's close
I made this before he had that good outing against the Dodgers, and even though he's been hot lately, before this weekend Fedde was having a better overall year
Well I can't put the whole team on there. I had Santander and he wasn't even selected as a reserve. I thought Mountcastle deserved the #2 spot behind Naylor but Vlad came on strong the last couple weeks and squeezed him out. Only 3 Orioles ended up being selected (rosters released today)
Turang has a legit case over Arraez, hard to argue with that aside from batting average. I also put Yelich on the team as a reserve, I held back from making him a starter since he put in a whole month's worth of games less than Tatis/Profar/Teoscar, but I got no problem with him getting that starting nod.
Royce Lewis has played something like 18 games this year, he's been awesome though, but an all-star bid for 18 games? I don't know if that's ever happened for a position player
If i could redo the list i would replace yamamoto with cristopher Sanchez. So that would be 6 to 5. The rest of the picks i stand by. If anything you can mock the dodgers for having 7 all stars but still being behind philly
By stats Jarren Duran has been a top 10 guy in baseball this year he should be the third outfielder
The third outfielder over Tucker?
@@homerunproductions162 Not over Tucker, but Duran is a very good option as a pinch runner, pinch hitter or as a defensive sub. But I understand that more deserving players get crowded out by at least 1 per team.

He's the AL leader in fWAR, so yes Crochet should be on the team.
Jarren Duran should honestly be in mvp talks right now he should def be in the all star game
Duran is right in line with Santander Greene and Kwan, you could easily swap him with any of them.
@@homerunproductions162Duran is way more valuable than those guys. He is a better fielder and base runner

I thought Kwan was borderline to even make it given his games played, surprised he grabbed a starting spot. I thought Naylor got robbed but after I made this video, Vlad really did come on strong to deserve that starting spot
Steven Kwan has to start with over a 1.000 ops
Hasnt played as much as the other guys though, but definitely think as the best hitter in baseball right now he needs a spot
The guards deserve some praise one hell of a surprise this year
Westburg and Mountcastle deserve to be at least reserves. Mountcastle is beating Guerro Jr. in votes right now, and Westburg is second place for third base voting, only behind Jose Ramirez.

So happy you showed respect too wong and houck my Sox have needed them also a possible option for the AL bullpen would be Craig Kimbrel
Kimbrel has been good but if your era is above 2 as a reliever theres usually a bunch of guys better
@homerunproductions162 100% Agree
Kimbrel has blown a lot of save opportunities.
Yeah nah, Francisco Lindor should’ve at least been mentioned
.747 ops, decent HR and SB totals, he's pretty borderline
As a rays fan Zack Little should be our one rep Paredes has not helped out the team this year he has good personal stats but he does not really help the team the same way Randy did last year

Everyone's given up way less hits than Webb 😂 but those runners dont score. He also got knocked around a bit since i put this video together
Logan Webb has a lower ERA and more innings pitcher than Hunter Greene. Strikeouts and hits don’t matter, runs matter
Dude my guy, you scared me at first without ranger up there 😭
Now disagree with Yamamoto, Assad, and Sale over Cris Sanchez at the very least and also Skenes. Those top 3 are all great, but Sanchez has been so elite at limiting homers and has better eras than all of them. Would say especially Yamamoto and Assad out for Skenes and Sanchez but that's me personally as a Phillies fan
I was wondering when someone was going to mention Sanchez. That's my one regret on this video, I should have put him in there ahead of Yamamoto.
uhhh you didn’t add brennan bernardino to the bullpen
He's been good but so many non-closers with low ERAs and only a few spots
Josh Smith deserves more love for the year he's having stepping in for Jung. Dude is a bright spot in a dark time for the Rangers. Tough to make the roster though, I get that.
Josh Smith hasnt really been talked about but the guy has been amazing. Definitely should get the call if a there are some injuries
Giancarlo Stanton has been sneaky good as a dh this year but I don’t know how long he’ll be injured for (Yankees fan btw)
Cashman knows all about Stanton and his injuries
No matter what, I’d make Jose Siri our Rays representative. He’s by far the best player on the Rays.
Jarren Duran is literally a top 5 American League outfielder this hear
Duran is right in line with Santander Greene and Kwan, you could easily swap him with any of them.
@@homerunproductions162 You can't just ignore defense lol. Duran provides double the value of Santander

IMO there should be at least one lefty bullpen guy per league, so I'd replace either Miller or Blanco (if we were to go 4 relievers) with Herrin in the AL. Otherwise, solid list.
Lindor should be over Alonso for the Mets, or Reed Garrett
Reed Garrett has been pretty good aside from a few outings that pushed his ERA over 3
I don’t want any Mets there except Alonso I guess cause I don’t what someone to get hurt
Don’t they do legacy all star players? If they do Who would go in your opinion?
I think sometimes when its appropriate. The only one i can think of off the top of my head is McCutchen
Final Score prediction?
Two time gold glover and best lead off/contact/non pure power hitter in the MLB. Steven Kwan, should get the start and bat leadoff.
Well you got your wish, he got the start
Was about to click off the video when I didn’t see Ranger Suarez 😅
Haha i knew that presentation would probably trigger some people
Yes, the same with me. He has only blown one save out of 20 (I think) tries! He is better than Hader and doesn't complain like Hader did.
@@homerunproductions162 Triggered me, that is for sure.
