Our All-Stars

Nolan Arenado and Carlos Gonzalez will be representing the Colorado Rockies in San Diego, with CarGo starting following some injuries to the NL starters. Both deserve to be in the All-Star Game as they are having great seasons so far.

More from Colorado Rockies News

Arenado is tied for fourth in the league with 23 home runs and leads the national league in RBI. His average is .287 and the impressive part is his OBP is .359, compliments of more walks this year, 38, than he had all of last year. His defense has been superb as usual, as he seems to be on his way to another Gold Glove, accounting for only one error so far this season.

CarGo has also been an offensive machine, continuing his performance from the second half last year. His average is .318 to go along with 19 home runs and 58 RBI, displaying how dominant he has been.

Arenado and Gonzalez have been key factors in the Rockies ranking fourth in MLB in runs scored. Gonzalez will also represent the Rockies in the Home Run Derby tonight, and I’d put my money on his sweet swing to win the whole thing.
