    Mariners hire Edgar Martinez as hitting coach

    Ought to be a good hire. But why wouldn't they let a stud hitter like martinez into the hall of fame?
    because he wasn't a stud anything else
    Yea, it was a sarcastic and rhetorical question for the pro DH people .

    This is great news if they can truly build this complex on a former trash dump BY 2017. This place is less than from 15 minutes from where I now live. Hopefully the Sox will come cross coast and come and play there.

    The should have followed the D*dgers lead and built it here in AZ. Barely any rain outs plus the longest travel for teams is less than hour to get to games. Most games is a 20 -30 minute bus ride. It looks amazing though.

    Maybe the Astros and the Nationsls should've built it in AZ. However, one of the draws for snowbirds and ST fans is the weather here in FLs winters is dry and cool. We hardly get any rainy days and if we do its short and the games carry on. Naturally I wanted them to come here due to how close it is to me and the Red Sox will play there as well instead of me driving cross coast to Fort Meyers.

    Side note because the Nats are in the NL I secretly root for them having lived for so many years in the DC Metro area. Still a RSox at heart forever though.

    6-6 and his ERA was over 3 until they played the worst team in baseball today. Only 1 win in his last 5 starts (today vs Phils). More runs, earned runs, and home runs than all of last season, and not far behind in hits and walks.

    I'm sure he'll level out, but thru half a season he's just not all-star material.

    there are guys with worse era that have a better record. Not like he was awful in those starts. He had a quality start in his last 9. His FIp is 2.5. Obviously if you're comparing to his past numbers they won't look good.

    You don't get to be an automatic all star because you were a stud LAST year. Arrieta should be on the team. I have a feeling he will get selected when one of the first 4 pitchers back out because of mystery injuries that only seem to last 3 days.

    Not since the players started voting in most of the reserves. They have been voting for best start to the season the last couple all start games. It has lead to some questionable guys making it when you look back at the end of the season, Charlie Blackmon from last one as best example. Now the fans with starting position players is a differentthing. I wish they would let us vote on the starting pitcher as that would be fun. Do it the same as the last man in. A couple of days of voting once all the pitchers were nominated.

    Has there ever been this many future hall of famers in one all star game before? I think I heard 20 hall of famers were on the 1971 all star teams. You be the judge.

    American league:
    Trout, Pujols, Donaldson,Altuve, Cabrera, Cruz, Cano, Machado,Fielder, Price, Hernandez, Scherzer, and Sale.

    National League (which in my opinion has a much better team):
    McCutcheon, Harper, Goldie, Posey, Rizzo, Grienke, Stanton, Gordon, Molina, A.Gonzalez, Tulowitski, Bryant, Braun, Baumgartner, Chapman, Cole, DeGrom, Papelbon, Rosenthal, and Holliday.

    Guys in italics are guys I think will be voted in. Other's are guys I think are automatic. I know that a couple of those guys have only been in the league a couple years and some are rookies. But if their careers pan out, there's a chance. Obviously, none of these guys are in yet and nothing is for sure. But it does make for good debate. Just think if all of these guys eventually do make the hall. That's 33 players in 1 game.

    Whats with the Giants hate. Did Rob piss you off?

    If Bumgarner can get close to 200 wins he will be a 1st ballot HOF'er. Dude is 25, has 3 rings and sports the lowest world series ERA of any starting pitcher ever (.25). He is 4-0 with a save already. He has a pitching style that will age well so I would put him as a lock more than the other pitchers minus Kershaw who you didn't even list.

    Posey is a lock if he can continue on without any more horrible injuries. He already has a MVP, Rookie of the Year and will be a lock for a .300 average and 20 HR's per year as he keeps going. As we start to learn more about pitch framing and respect that ability he should will get his dues even more. He is one of the best in the game at that ability.

    Braun will never get in. He's a two time PED offender.

    And I didn't say he was a HoFer. I said I think if those guys careers pan out as expected, then they will get in. To deny that is just silly. It's obviously hypothetical and subjective right now. Many of the all stars are under 25, so to say any of them are hall of famers is ridiculous. Even trout. If he had a career ending injury sometime this year, he's not a hall of famer. But there's a good chance he won't have a career ending injury and most would agree he can trot into the hall after a 12 hear career on the path he's currently on.
