Tough not seeing Mookie start, but fair.

If Chris Sale isn't the starter, I will be blown away.

Pretty remarkable that 6 starters are 1st timers


Also insane how young Trout is and this is his 6th

Wow, Zimmerman over Goldy and Votto at 1B for NL. Not saying he's not deserving

Is Bellinger being left out a surprise? Don't follow the NL as closely. Guess I just expected to see his name considering how much he's been in the headlines

Also, seems like this is first time in last few years that a fan base didn't go all out in getting 5+ starters selected. For the most part, everybody who was picked is deserving of it (or atleast has a solid argument)

No, I still think Zimmerman deserves it over Bellinger...

Not sure where they could take him, maybe OF?

Yeah I'll be honest I was thinking more OF. Like I said I don't do as good of a job following NL. Keep up with all the stats for everyone while playing fantasy and know Bellinger is OF eligible

I really don't see any argument for Arenado being selected over Turner. Turner's batting average is 40 points higher than Arenado's OBP. The gap between the two offensively this season has been cavernous.

Don't know if it's something inherent in the process but I'm surprised no Cubs are in starting lineup after those earlier ballots several weeks back.

Well Turner was injured for awhile, Arendo has like 100+ at bats on him

Don't blame em, but seems like the entire Cubs roster (and fan base) are still soaking in last years World Series. For the rest of MLB's sake, I hope they continue to do so

Very very happy for him, though I am pretty surprised he got the starting nod over Goldy. All three deserved it though.
