Buster Posey won’t start this year’s All-Star Game. Brandon Crawford will. We won’t know if if deserving players like Gorkys Hernández or Tony Watson might be joining them in Washington, D.C. until other players drop out due to injury, but we do know that the Brandon Belt is up for a spot — the final spot.
The last time Brandon Belt was up for the Final Spot vote (2016), our beloved Grant Brisbee wrote of our beloved Belt:
No, sorry. The worst part about the 2016 All-Star rosters is that there aren’t enough of my favorite players, and everything is about me in this world.
