Today, the MLB All-Stars were announced, and the playeres representing Chicago will be Paul Konerko, Adam Dunn, Chris Sale, Starlin Castro, and Bryan LaHair. I personally don't think a guy hitting .210 (Dunn) or a guy that hit cleanup most of the year, but only has 28 RBIs with a .284 average (LaHair) should be considered All-Stars. On a side note, I am happy Chris Sale made it, as it is well deserved, but I am begging the White Sox to have him pitch July 8th which would make him ineligible to pitch during the All-Star game. He will throw more innings this year than in any year in his life, and I think it will be much better for him to get some rest (and maybe eat a lot to put some weight on that body) than pitching in the game.
UPDATE: Apparently, Jake Peavy has been selected as one of the five players eligible for the final position on the All-Star team. Because he is always one pitch away from ending his career, see above for whether I think he should pitch in the game.
