Tillman an All Star!

[Rene88]

Who would I have chosen over Tillman if you feel that way?

"Tillman is the first Orioles starting pitcher to make the All-Star team since Mike Mussina did so in 1999. Tillman's selection to the team marks the first time that the Orioles have had five All-Stars since 1997, when the players on the team were Roberto Alomar, Brady Anderson, Jimmy Key, Mussina, Cal Ripken Jr., and Randy Myers."

Kuroda on the team yet?

[AlbionHero]

With Tillman making the all-star team, we now have 3 players who made all-star teams out of that Bedard trade. That trade keeps on looking better and better.

It was painful. Kenny was so deferential that he lost the debate despite having the advantage of the facts.

Lots of better Sabre guys on here than Kenny.

He had decent information he just wasn't aggressive enough.

I'm more interested in getting Orioles on the team. I did, after all, vote for Markakis a bunch. Sorry for violating the sanctity of the ASG.

You can't violate it more than Selig already has.

I know. A little tongue in cheek there.

I don't mind having Oriole pitchers elected to the ASG. I do not, however, want them pitching in it.

Same with the WBC.

I'm just going to say I'm excited for Chris Tillman, rather than debating whether someone else should have gotten the nod. As of June 2012, nobody would have even been confident that Tillman could stick in our rotation, much less get an all-star nod. So, congrats to him!

This. I hope he doesn't pitch in the game. Granted the Orioles haven't announced what the post ASG rotation would be, I would prefer Tillman starting the first game after the break.

I'd be surprised if he pitched. He'll probably be in the back end of the bullpen and may only see an inning, if that, late in the game. Depending on the situation. Casualty of the Selig ASG Rule.
