Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig has taken baseball by storm since he debuted. In his 29 games this season, Puig is batting .430 with 8 HR and 19 RBI.
The question that's been running rampant is, should Yasiel Puig be in the All-Star game?
The All-Star game supposedly means something (as in winning league gets home field advantage in World Series) but the way the voting is handled says otherwise. Since it does mean something, wouldn't you want Yasiel Puig, the hottest player in baseball, to be on your leagues All-Star team?
I say put him in the game. If you have seen him at all, you know the guy is a beast and I think he would be great to see him in this game.

Well, he will help the NL win, the Reds are in the NL, the winner of the All Star Game gets home field advantage in World Series, I'm banking on the Reds being in the World Series, so yes he should be in

I agree that he will help the NL win. He is now up for the final player vote so it's now up the fans to get him in the game!

He is popular and in LA. I'd be shocked if he didn't make it.

He is up against Ian Desmond (Was), Freddie Freeman (Atl), Hunter Pence (SF) and Adrian Gonzalez (LA). Based on those other guys, it would be hard to see him not making the game!

Freddie Freeman also does deserve to be in the game! He has had a great first half of the season but to me, Freeman won't help this team out as much as Puig would. Puig has taken this league by storm and would add a lot of intrigue to the game!

Speaking of the All Star game, how about Bryce Harper being the first position player to start 2 all star games before his 21st bday? Very impressive. I'm a huge fan his and I'm not sure why he gets all kinds of negative slack. Plays the game the right way in my opinion. Sure he has different hair cuts, and is a cocky kid, but what 20 yr old isnt like that? I think he's the future of MLB and will be better than Puig

Right on cue. Freeman wins the All-Star final fan vote and then proceeds to go 3 for 4 with 4 RBI...well done Freddie.
As for Bryce, the kid is a stud. I love the way he plays the game and I love the swagger that he has.
I would love to give a quick shout out to Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Steve Delabar. He was voted as the final American League All-Star in the fan vote. Delabar is from Elizabethtown, Kentucky and in 2008, Delabar played for the Florence Freedom. In fact, he is the only known former Freedom player, to make the majors. That would also mean, he's the only Freedom player to become a MLB All-Star. Congrats to Steve Delabar as he heads to New York next week to play in the MLB All-Star game.

Don't forget it was off of All-Star pitching....Good pitching always shuts down good hitting.
