A few Rockies-based observations from the totals thus far:

First Base. We love Justin Morneau, and you should too, but even though he won a batting title last year, there are probably far more exciting national first basemen around (like Goldschmidt, and Gonzalez), so, no surprise that he’s not around.

Second Base. Seriously, where the hell is DJ? Like, but, for real. No DJ? I’m not actually going to write anything here, I’d rather save this for a separate post. Stay tuned.

Shortstop. It’s nice to see Tulo in a very close third, especially considering both he and the Rockies are having a very down year. Obviously, it speaks to his quality as a player. Maybe a few more 4-for-4 games like had Friday night, and, hey, good things could happen…

Third Base. VOTE NOLAN. THIS IS ABSURD. VOTE NOLAN ALL DAY EVERY DAY.

Catcher. I can dig that Molina, Posey, and maybe Norris are probably better than Nick Hundley, but Nick is having a great year and you could make a case for him as an All-Star.

Outfielders. Corey Dickerson is probably the only Rockie to have a shot at this, and considering he’s on the DL now, he may not be able to crack the All-Star game this year. Oh well. Vote Nolan!

Pitchers. LOL jk jk.

We’ll have a post up in the next couple days reminding you crazy kids of all that information, but until then…

GO VOTE FOR THE ROCKIES TO GO TO THE ALL-STAR GAME, DAMNIT.

Have an amazing day.
