2008 NL All Star Team
Unrestricted View —
... Sorry Derrek, but this year it's either Berkman or Pujols, and it's got to be The Puma this time around (and D.Lee is presently in fourth, in my calculation). Can you even argue with .364/.444/.690, 21 HR and 67 RBI ?!?! In a word? No. Nyet. Nao. Nein. Not even Albert and his .356/.483/.640, 17 HR and 45 RBI can. OK, maybe just him. But, it takes a lot for this Cub Fan to put a Redbird on top, and I'm giving this one to Lancealot. Ya know, tie goes to the switch-hitter. But if we look at the top six, ...

exists for those players who don't get out of the first round... advancing to the
semifinals, if not further, seems to excise the curse.
To be fair, we are
dealing with extremely limited sample sizes, but when combined, the numbers do
seem pretty clear: if you've got Josh Hamilton, Justin Morneau, Lance Berkman
or Ryan Braun, sit tight... the second half should treat these players ...
