How was I not an all star this year?

Carlos Gonzalez was not an all star for the same reason that Jason Heyward was voted to be a starter: the system is [expletive]ed.

 

I am so sick of hearing about all-star snubs though. There were over 80 players named to the team this year, after injury replacements, and guys who opted not to go, etc. That is a lot, yet there is still a list 20-30 names long of guys with legitimate "all-star numbers". That means that there are just a lot of dudes having really good years, and no matter who was picked, there was going to be a lot of crying. But as I have said all along, eliminating that "every team must be represented" rule and that "utility player" rule would be great places to start.

You can argue Gonzalez has the best stats of any NL outfielder
