Betts is a reserve and not a starter.

I wonder if X will be in the final fan vote, if that still exists

Yes but he will start for Trout.

Bogaerts is one of the five in the fan Final vote, along with Andrus, Gregorius, Moustakas, and Morrison.

That's the writer talking, nothing official (yet)

We’ll start with the AL, using stats entering Sunday. Mike Trout was voted in as the starter, but he’s still on the DL and remains doubtful for the game. Let’s sub in Mookie Betts for him.

Right now the only reserve outfielders are Betts, Michael Brantley and Avisail Garcia. Trout's roster replacement has to be an Angel, I think.

Xander should be in.

I`d rather not X make the team. He`d be alot better off getting some rest. I stopped voting years ago because I`d rather see all Sox players get a rest.

 

[chawson]

Lindor over Xander is whatever. Starlin Castro over Xander is absurd.

Wonder what DD gave Theo to make this partnership happen...

Significant compensation.

I couldn't agree more. The guy has a mild groin strain. Let him rest!

Mookie is starting the game in place of Trout.

1 homegrown player on the AS team. Not wow. What do the Yankees have, 4 homegrown players?

Pretty impressive the team is in 1st place. Lot players we could see improved performance from in 2nd half and 3B can only improve.

 

[Ale Xander]

Who will play CF, Mookie or Springer?

Remind me what the reward is for winning with more home grown players than the other guy?

Considering both Sale and Kimbrell came from exchanges of home grown players, I'm going to consider them both as products of the Red Sox system.

And last year, the Red Sox had three homegrown players in the starting lineup (and six All Stars total) while being 3 games back entering July 4. What does it have to do with anything?
