Because he is the only natural centerfielder on the NL roster.

Lol who cares its the all star game! I'm sure Brad Hawpe isn't going to have much trouble playing center field for 4-5 innings. Pathetic!

You asked why he is starting and you got your answer. And since obviously to you the game is so pointless that you, the guy who clearly values defense so much based on our Manny/Hanley Ramirez discussion, have absolutely no problem putting a guy with no centerfield experience out there, why do you care so much about Vic being on the team (and starting)?

lol yeah because the difference between right and center is soooo huge, your right he prolly couldn't handle it. It's just sad to that a guy who didn't even make it originally starts over a guy who did make it.

Oh well...Charlie is allowed to do what he wants, and in this case that is rewarding his players. If you have a problem with that, tough [expletive]...it's one of the perks of winning the World Series. Lots of managers do it on a far bigger scale than this.

Only one Braves players on the roster this year. I'm really happy for McCann. Sucks that Jurjens or Vazquez didn't make it. If only they had run support there records would've been better and the their chances of getting in would be as well.
