Four appearances, and three of them he had an OPS+ below 85 that season. Either his glove was way way way valued, or he had hot Mays and Junes and then was dreadful after the break.

You could say that about a lot of AllStar middle infielders (esp. from Venezuela). Ozzie Guillen was a 3 time all star and never had an OPS+ above 85 in his career. Trillo won 3 GG’s and 2 Silver Sluggers for what it’s worth. The answer to your multiple All-Star question is either Scott Cooper (Red Sox 3B in the 90′s) or Jose Rosado (token Royals rep in the late 90′s).

I don't know about individual seasons, but Manny Trillo has to be among the worst to play in multiple All-Star games.Four appearances, and three of them he had an OPS+ below 85 that season. Either his glove was way way way valued, or he had hot Mays and Junes and then was dreadful after the break.

I just read that it’s down to 2 teams for Parise and Philly’s one of them

I just read it’s down to Chicago and Pittsburgh. Nobody knows anything.

Oh, I thought it was common knowledge I was Mets fan, specifically since Tim Ryan loves riding my balls about how bad they usually are.

Wait are you not a Mets fan and just have that app set up for some other purpose?

Philly
According to Dreger the Flyers are still in on both Suter and Parise FWIW.

Cueto being snubbed by Larussa is probably the most interesting story on the whole All Star game hype.

Think you mean Greinke

There’s a reason that the big Jewish summit on the internet was held at Citi Field last month.

Because there are a lot of Jews in Queens and NY? I still don’t see the connection to getting updates on my phone.

Derek Jeter is the worst person ever

Sounds like someone didn’t get a gift bag.

That must be awesome when you can’t watch the game, and extremely annoying when you are watching.

It is.

I had no idea cleet was a Jew.

Some fanbases care more than others. Nice job, Mets fans.

Some fanbases only care when the weather is fair.

I've heard whispers that Jose Hernandez is the worst AS ever, but his OPS+ was 120 that year, so I'm not entirely convinced.

Cal Ripken had one All-Star worthy season.

If we’re just going by worst season to be rewarded, any of Ripken’s last 10 should rank up there.

I have the ESPN app that alerts me on my phone anytime there is a run scored in a Mets game. It is amazing how many times this year when the Mets scored Wright either scored the run, was already on base, or was driving in the run

And what if you’re watching MLB At Bat on your phone? Does it just say, “Fuck you.” everytime they score?
