So which pitchers do you think should start in the upcoming MLB All-Star Game? I'd vote for the Indians' C.C. Sabathia (12-2, 3.20 ERA, 116 Ks) and the Dodgers' Brad Penny (10-1, 2.00 ERA in 112.2 innings). Who would you go with?

What about my boy Peavy?...don't he rate? He is 9-2 206 with a ton of K's

I gave Penny the edge over Peavy. I assume you'd got the other way? And what about the AL? Sabathia, Beckett or Lackey?

See I am torn, I personally don't want Peavy and Beckett to skip in my GTG rotation...so I am torn on this, you know?

Sabathia deserves it but I wonder if they'll give Dan Haren the nod, only because the game is in San Fransico (Bay area). The NL? I would go with Peavy? No reason really. I just think his stuff is electric and would prefer to see him.

CC has to get the start in the AL. He has pitched the best so far. In the NL, you could toss a coin with Peavy and Penny.

Beckett plain and simple

Why is Beckett more deserving than Sabathia? C.C. has more wins, more strikeouts, more innings pitched and a better ERA. And who in the NL?

[legend]

Haren has an ERA a full run better than CC or Beckett and has given up 33 less hit than innings pitched, far superior to the other two. Plus he is 10-2 with an awful lineup behind him, as opposed to Boston and Cleveland's hitters. Haren is an easy choice if you go by the numbers.

There is no such thing as "an easy" chocie...Haren plays in a pitchers ballpark, and Beckett in a hitters ballpark, thus there will be a difference in both ERAs and amount of hits given up.

Because Simon is Red Sox fan, that's why.

Are those the official starters, or just your pick? Nice looking match-up if that's written in stone, although Penny would've worked too.
