Everyone knows - with the three no hitters (or four), two perfect games (or three depending on how you look at it), and the plethora of NEAR no-hitters...that this is the pitchers year.
I thought it would be interesting to put up polls for both AMERICAN and NATIONAL to see who would be going to the All-Star game. This has to be the most difficult decision the All-Star managers have had in over a decade.
Let's assume that only 7 starting pitchers go (there could be one or two more for each team - but for the poll's sake let's assume only 7 go).
IMPORTANT: You have to remember that one rep from each team HAS to go - so in case of the Indians - Mitch Talbot is most likely the rep for that team b/c their hitting is HORRIBLE!!!
This one is especially hard b/c there are about 15 NL staring pitchers that could win up on the team come July.
APOLOGIES TO: Jamie Garica (Wainwright and Carpenter in front of you and ERA won't last), Livan Hernandez (other Nationals will go), Anibal Sanchez (other Marlins will go), Clayton Kershaw, Mat Latos and Jon Garland (one of these two will be the Padres rep but they would take up TWO poll slots, so they were left out), and Mike Leake (I just dont see him going even though he's having a great rookie season - Jonny Gomes, Scott Rolen, and Cordero will go before him)
