Brewers Send Four to All-Star Game

Four Brewers are going to the All-Star Game including Prince Fielder who becomes the first Brewer to be voted into the starting lineup since Paul Mollitor in 1988. Ben Sheets, Francisco Cordero, and JJ Hardy were also selected. The Brewers and Mets led the way with four players each being selected.

When I start thinking about snubs there's a Brewer that kind of sneaks up on you. No one really mentioned him as an all-star but he could have a legit gripe about being left off the final vote. That player is Corey Hart. Hart hasn't started the entire season but definitely has a good number of AB's under his belt. Currently Hart is batting .317 with a .388 OBP, he has 11 Home Runs, 32 RBI, and 16 stolen bases. He's doing just as good or better than Aaron Roward, who made the all-star team in all those categories except RBI's where he's 3 behind and On Base Percentage where he's only down 2 points. Had Hart played everyday we'd probably be seeing five Brewers in the All-Star Game. Still, sending four players to the game is impressive. Not bad for a "small market" baseball team.
