Can't say I agree with the selection but Grats!

Must be due to his W/L record. I don't see any other reason.

[CA-ORIOLE]

Wow. Congrats to Tillman.

[Crazysilver03]

Well Tillman is replacing someone on the roster. Wonder who?

[El Gordo]

Who is he replacing?

[Rene88]

Yeah who is he replacing? Congrats!

[Orioles Jim]

Justin Verlander is the guy he's replacing.

[CA-ORIOLE]

Must be due to his W/L record. I don't see any other reason.

Some people put a lot of stock in that. I don't think he's been all that great but the dude guts games out.

[Rene88]

Replaces Verlander.

[Shabadoo25]

Sabbathia--he pitches today.

Also, this is now 3 All-Stars that we now got back in the Erik Bedard trade. :thumbsup1:

Sherrill made the All-Stars for us once (2008), this will be Jones' third trip (2009, 2012, and 2013) and this will obviously be Tillman's first.

Meanwhile, Bedard has actually never made an All-Star team before.

I agree.

I am sure they also wanted to replace a right handed starter with a right handed starter.

[Crazysilver03]

Justin Verlander is the guy he's replacing.

And people said Tillman wasn't an ace.

[Can_of_corn]

Some people put a lot of stock in that. I don't think he's been all that great but the dude guts games out.

Of course his first two innings are historically when he runs into trouble...

ROFL... did Leyland simply scroll down the list of leaders in the WIN category and take the next guy?
