Greinke has fallen off as of late.
Halladay deserved it.

Grienke leads over the course of the season.

Roy Halladay will start Tuesday's All-Star game for the American League.
American League squad manager Joe Maddon cited Halladay's "body of work" as the reason he got the nod over Zack Greinke. Halladay, 32, is 10-3 this season with a 2.85 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and a 106/17 K/BB ratio.

He should have given this honor to Tim Wakefield

0 Runs in run support over the last two games, both of which were quality starts. Yes...horrible.

Why, because the ASG isn't a big enough joke already?
Body of work?
Zach Grienke is better than Halladay in every possible statistic this year and that at the end of the day is who the All Star game starter should be. This is not the opening day starter we are talking about.

I am glad Doc got the nod, however, I am not fully convinced he is 100% healed. He has struggled since his return.
I do think it would be great if he handed the ball over to Wakefield for the start.

Why? The Best starting pitcher is supposed to start. This is why I'm glad fans don't also pick the starting pitchers.bradical said:

He already gave Wakefield a gift by putting him in the game. Wakefield probably won't get to pitch unless things get crazy like last year.
I see Aaron Hill was named the new starting 2B. I would have liked to see Zobrist get it, but I guess Hill did deserve it more.

If it goes into extra innings and they bring in Wakefield and Victor Martinezz is catching, I can see the game ending on a pass ball

Its gonna be Wakefields first and last ASG appearance. He should atleast be able to stand on that mound, even if its just to face 1 batter.

How should that matter? No offense, but it's not like he is a HOFer or a legend or anything like that.Rudzud said:

The same reason ARod let Cal Ripken start at SS in his place at his final ASG appearance in 2001.
What makes Halladay the best starting pitcher? Wins, KOs, ERA? I'd agree with you, that if it was Game 7 of the World Series, and I needed one starter, I would not choose anyone over Halladay. But starting at the ASG is nothing but a silly stat line.
To those who have had a great career, like Wakefield, and constantly snubbed from the ASG, I think it'd be a great honor to let him start at the bump.
