Looking real forward to the futures game, Gose has a huge chance to up the old trade value.

He lives in Kansas City. Remember the four-game series two months ago.

Don't know much about him other than everybody loves him. I look more forward to the futures game than the actual All-Star game. Weird.

If only d'Arnaud could be here :'(

Edwin Encarnacion got SNUBBED for the All Dtar Game 

Post#13 » by Crazy_NBA_Fan » Sun Jul 8, 2012 5:05 am

How come come Edwin Encanacion didn't make the all star game but Billy Butler did as a DH? Edwin has way better numbers than him. Is this part of the politics?

every team needs a representative. he's the only royals player on the AL roster.

Bautista outplays his contract by more than $70 million over the next four seasons (2013-2016).

That's stupid, is that a mandatory rule? I can recall some years where the Blue Jays didn't have anybody coming to the all star game? Edwin is deserving of being an all star. I feel bad for him, he worked hard this season so far.

Excited to see Gose play.

Any news on who replaces Stanton in the home run derby?

Pretty stoked for the futures game, I just wish D'Arnaud had been able to play.

That's impressive power from such a tiny human being. I hate Texas.
