Good for him.

Congratulations to Pablo. He really seems to be a class act. The health of the rotation will be a key in the second half of the season.

First the skrilla and now this. It's all coming together for Pablo, the Marlin's number 20 prospect when he debuted. He originally signed for 280k.

Good for him. Can't say he doesn't deserve the honor. But a little surprised it was him and not Ryan.

First time since 2001 the Twins have had multiple Starting Pitchers make the All-Star team. And you could make a pretty strong case that Joe Ryan and maybe even Bailey Ober should have gotten an ASG nod.

One more blister and hopefully Ryan makes it..

Ryan won’t be able to pitch after throwing for the Twins tomorrow. He is as good a candidate as López.

True, there's one or two more that could be there on the pitching side. I'm all for that happening.... Been Way to LONG since I felt that way about Twins pitching. Earned it even if they didn't get that honor...

I'm happy for Gray and PLopez. It's a great honor. But if they get in the game they ****ing better not mess themselves up in any way.

He seems like a class act indeed! I've become a big fan of his this year. Very cool to see him picked for the ASG!

Great article on the trade.....and the last paragraph explains why both teams made it, imo.
