In response to "yeah, he'd be in based on ESPN hype and crap no doubt. Still, you can't add a guy to an all-star team because of potential. -- nm" by CQ

Yeah, it wasn't ESPN hype.

it's 1.05 WHIP, it's 12 K's/9 IP.

It's that he's moving the needle which very few players in baseball do.

and if he keeps it up for the rest of the year and next year, then he can be your precious little all-star and you can throw a party -- nm - CQ Jul 4, 10:24 7
- Did he kill your dog or something? - Will Hunting Jul 4, 10:26 6
  - I think he's fantastic, but his body of work, to me, is not enough to justify an all-star appearance. -- nm - CQ Jul 4, 10:29 5
    - 110% concur -- nm - TFox Jul 4, 11:41
    - I agree with you completely. Not this year, not with the small sample size we have right now. -- nm - Krusty Jul 4, 10:56
    - That's why you let the fans decide. - Will Hunting Jul 4, 10:32 2
      - but this time it matters! -- nm - CQ Jul 4, 10:33 1
        
        If the fans get to vote for the teams and every team has to be represented then the game shouldn't count for anything. - Krusty Jul 4, 10:59
He does have an all-star arm. But only playing 1/3 of the 1st half, hard to justify. Blame the Nats, for not calling him up sooner - flavorize Jul 4, 10:24
