Your 2008 Boston All-Stars:
David Ortiz Dustin Pedroia Jon Papelbon J.D. Drew Manny Ramirez Kevin Youkilis ...and Jason Varitek. Not a typo. Jason Varitek made the All-Star team after hitting .218/.300/.358. Unreal! |

This topic already exists in "Around MLB".
Tek was voted in by the players, coaches, and managers. Perhaps they feel his intangibles are much more important than many people here do.

Unfortunately it---like the Gold Glove- has become a popularity contest. At no time this season has teK done anything statistically measurable that would warrant a place on this All Star team. Any vote cast for him was based on something other than what I have always perceived as to be the reason to vote for an All Star. |

Are players that clueless in their voting? Someone hitting .218 should never be an all-star unless they are a pitcher.
Tek should come up with a reason and stay home to think about how to hit better.
