For Joc Pederson and Justin Upton—two of the most prominent members of the July all-dud squad—the Midsummer Classic must feel like a lifetime ago.
As it turns out, Pederson and Upton aren't the only 2015 MLB All-Stars who landed a spot on this infamous team. The selection process was simple. The idea was to dig through the stats and to single out the big leaguers who posted alarmingly bad numbers in the month of July.
There was room on the team for one designated hitter who starred as a pitcher and one of Pederson's teammates—Yasiel Puig—who tumbled through a video game-related slump.
