It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to complain about the All-Star Game selections, but after three world championships and an All-Giants 2012 All-Star Game, we could be forgiven for scrutinizing the glaring omissions of Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt from the festivities in San Diego.
What gives with players around the league preferring Corey Seager to Brandon Crawford? He's won two world championships, a Gold Glove, and was an All-Star last year! And while Brandon Belt gets an opportunity to join the roster via the fan's Final Vote, he's competing against rookie Trevor Story, whose uneventful and practically celebrated inclusion on the list smacks of hypocrisy when you consider the backlash created by Yasiel Puig's placement on the same list midway through his rookie year in 2013.
