Back in 2011, Ryan Vogelsong was the super-happy story to warm our super-fun hearts. He was pitching much better than anyone could have anticipated, and with his manager getting to pick the pitchers for the All-Star Game, well, Vogelsong was an easy All-Star selection to root for. One of the snubs was right-handed starter Tommy Hanson, but I didn't feel too bad about it. He'd have plenty of chances to make the All-Star team.
Bad Grant. Never assume that. Hanson was 10-4 with a 2.44 ERA at the 2011 All-Star break, and his career completely disintegrated after that.
