Brewers Heading to All Star Game

Two Milwaukee Brewers will be in the starting lineup at the All Star Game while two more will be in reserve. 

Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Gomez got the start by winning the fan vote.  Lucroy and Frankie Rodriguez were voted in by the players.

It is good to see Ramirez and Gomez get rewarded for their efforts by the fans.  In a small market like Milwaukee many times that goes overlooked.  

It is sad that it is a popularity vote as even the ESPN Announcers agreed that Jonathan Lucroy should have been the starting Catcher.

Lucroy stats/standing at Catcher against the MLB

1st in Batting Avg .329    Molina 3rd .292
1st in OBP .397               Molina 5th .342
1st in Slugging .516        Molina 7th .414
1st in Runs 42                 Molina 7th 30
1st in Hits 104                Molina 2nd 86
2nd in RBIs 42               Molina 15th 30

Between the two in fielding they are neck and neck.  Lucroy has 3 errors and Molina 2, Lucroy has thrown out more baserunners.
