Around SBN: How NBA Draft Lottery Results Affect Prospects' High Hopes

All-Star Game Open Thread

Come chat about all the Braves All-Stars. And to everyone who wants to make their cleverly crafted assertions about how it is unheard of that Omar Infante is an All-Star, stick it where the sun don't shine, and watch him be the MVP of the game.

Molina is going at least 7 innings I bet.

Seeing as McCann is the only other catcher and managers are always kinda skiddish about having no backups.

I disagree.. 2008 went 15 innings. BMac came in in the 15th. I’m not expecting Heap till like the 8th

I seriously don’t know why so many people are pining for Andrus this year. Andrus is an elite defensive shortstop with decent on base skills and zero power.

This year, Yunel Escobar is having an elite defensive season with decent on base skills (.334) and no power.

Two years from now, we’ll we wish we had Andrus, but he’s no upgrade over Yunel in the present.
