POLL: Biggest Twins All-Star Snub?

[Tom Froemming]

Jorge Polanco will be starting, Jake Odorizzi was named to the roster and Jose Berrios made it in as a reserve, but who do you think is the biggest All-Star snub on this Twins team? Plenty of options. I still can't believe they won't have anybody in the Home Run Derby, but that's another topic.

There is no choice that is ‘Yes’

I voted for Rogers. Kepler is the only other one that had a real case.

Where is "rally monkey?"

Right!? I was thinking about this and having a hard time picking just one.

Sure there are worthy candidates. I would rather them get a few days off.

[FlauerPauer]

Kepler and Rogers are really the only choices. Buxton and Rosario ended their cases when they got hurt. Cruz hits it when it isn't clutch time. Garver really just didn't play enough at catcher.

Yes, first base is a plausible choice, but for my money it's I Don't Give A Darn.

 

Which, coincidentally, is also my mostly-serious answer.

 

Kepler, Buxton and Garver would all make fine All-Star selections, but they're only knocking on the door and were not snubbed, while Polanco beat the door right down.

Garver.

And I voted for Kepler.

So much under appreciated talent on this team.

[Riverbrian]

I'm the biggest all-star snub.

 

I have been snubbing the entire event for over a decade now.

Obviously not a valid poll.

I voted Cruz because when Pence was pulled he was not replaced by a DH. It's BS that everyone else was replaced by the same position.

[jz7233]

Taylor Rogers! He single-handedly carried Twins bullpen in the first half.

[Darius]

Kepler, without a doubt. It’s a stacked position, but I believe he’s right up there with Mookie Betts for the AL OF WAR leaders not named Mike Trout.

 

Austin Meadows over Max Kepler? Robbery.

 

Rogers and Cruz have pretty air-tight cases....but Kepler is a full fledged star. I’m kind of shocked that the MLB didn’t do whatever it could to try and take advantage of the European emerging market angle. Even discounting Kepler’s superior performance, what on earth does Austin Meadows from the least followed team on the planet do for anyone? Not to mention, he’s been abysmal for a while now (down to pedestrian .289/12/41 after a red hit start to the season).

 

Not hard to say Rogers makes sense considering Presley, Chapman, Hand, Green, and Hendricks made it for reliever. A legitimate argument can be made that they deserve it over Rogers. But Meadows over Kepler AND Rosario AND Buxton.....joke.

I voted Kepler but after seeing Tanaka get chosen, I might have switched to Rogers.

 

Tanaka, really?!?

[tarheeltwinsfan]

If I were a Twin player, I'd go into the second half with a chip on my unappreciated shoulder.
