@RedSox: Congrats to @BrockStar4Lyf on being named to the 2015 American League All-Star team! #RedSox http://t.co/0PwNS087HU
Josh Harrison last year, BROCKHOLT this year. Back to back years super utility guys make it. Now, Go Bogey!soxhop411 said:“@TimBritton: Yost on Holt: ”What impressed me is his versatility. Super-utility guys should be celebrated.“”
[emoji171] you Yost
He's certainly in the conversation. I have no problem with Holt making it and there is a decent chance that X deservedly joins him.fineyoungarm said:There's a decent argument that he is the MVP on this team.

All of the starters eventually come out nowadays. He could get in in many ways, one being if Yost wants to pinch hit for anybody, say Iggy if he's coming up. He could PH with Brock, or put Brock in at SS if he pinch hits with somebody else. Apply that to any position except catcher (pitchers don't hit). Also, the way Yost talked about Brock being deserving and that super utility players should be celebrated, I have a feeling he'll get him in there.InsideTheParker said:This is the most wonderful surprise. I am flabbergasted and extremely pleased. It's hard to imagine him actually playing in this game, though. Why would you sub for an all-star? I reckon it's more an honor than a real opportunity to play.

Perhaps. But Holt is on pace for a better year than Cooper put up in either all star season.mikeford said:Is this the worst Red Sox all star since Scott Cooper?

Loretta finished the year worth HALF A WIN, he's gotta be far and away the worst.Rudy Pemberton said:Mark Loretta, Shea Hillenbrand say hi. Matt Clement and Wakefield '09 may be in the running as well.
Can we get confirmation on this?Montana Fan said:Speaking of guys with ALL STAR on their resume. Prior to the 2002 season Rasputin promised to fuck a sheep in Central Park if Shea Hillenbrand made the ALL STAR team. Only he knows if he kept his word.

One guy on that list contributed a great deal to this franchise and deserves every honor he gets.Rudy Pemberton said:Mark Loretta, Shea Hillenbrand say hi. Matt Clement and Wakefield '09 may be in the running as well.
Gigi and I don't like to talk about it.Montana Fan said:Speaking of guys with ALL STAR on their resume. Prior to the 2002 season Rasputin promised to fuck a sheep in Central Park if Shea Hillenbrand made the ALL STAR team. Only he knows if he kept his word.
More amazing is that he made a second one.Rasputin said:Gigi and I don't like to talk about it.

I would NEVER!E5 Yaz said:
Ras cheated on Gigi????
Wakefield led the AL in wins when he was selected. It was a flukey-good year for him, but it was a deserved all star selection.Rudy Pemberton said:Mark Loretta, Shea Hillenbrand say hi. Matt Clement and Wakefield '09 may be in the running as well.
The amazing thing is that these are legitimate qualifications to be an all-star on the 2015 Red Sox.fineyoungarm said:I suspect he always knows how many outs there are and what the count is.
I think it would be criminal if Holt not only doesn't get into the game, but also doesn't move around and play at least three positions defensively. Should be fairly simple to do. He hits for Escobar, plays an inning at SS, then Iglesias hits for Gordon, allowing Holt to move to LF, and so on. Yost's endorsement of him seems only to lend credence to such a plan.

.In all fairness, Dozier should have gotten it over him

I need to explain my suggestion that he might not play. I was under the impression that there would be several chosen for each position, so that if a SS goes out, for example, another SS would replace him. I was thinking that if Holt got the spot instead of a chosen SS, the other SSs might be pissed. But I completely forgot that the game will be conducted under NL rules. That changes everything, and I am hopeful to see my favorite, BROCKHOLT, in as many positions as possible. (I do remember some AllStar games when everyone doesn't get into the game, though.)DrewDawg said:
Wait what?
They starters don't play 9 innings.
