He’s still 3rd in the NL OF in WAR. Since there are 3 starting spots, Harper seems like a reasonable selection.

Especially, if you view the All-Star game as something other than a decision based on half a season.

Panik is not better than Zobrist, nor the other 2B selected.
Belt is not better than Rizzo, nor the other 1B selected.
Duffy is the 8th ranked 3B by fWAR, please god, do not argue that he’s an All-Star.
Span and Pagan are not better than the players selected.
Pence is hurt, but also not among the top 10 among NL…

False equivalence: It’s not just for political debate!!!

Nats fan here. Glad Wilson made the squad. He is not more deserving than the two other catchers on the squad. Even if you base things only on the fist half...Posey STILL has better numbers. That’s without factoring in that Posey has been doing it for years, and Ramos for a couple half years over the same time span.

In…

Kris Bryant isn’t deserving?
Anthony Rizzo isn’t deserving?
Zobrist isn’t deserving?

Name one Royal who had a legit claim to being the All-Star starter last year.

Instead of Addison Russell being the only undeserving starter...the Royals fans were voting in a squad of Addison Russells.

Oh...and it wasn’t just the infield.…

Out of Posey, Lucroy and Ramos...who is Molina better than?

What outfielders should be bumped for Piscotty? And on what grounds?

You’re being one of those fans that are the reason I think the BFIB label is absurd.
Your comment shows that you really like and support the Cardinals. But it shows little attention to the game…
