But it's not like he's the only one, Brain Wilson and a few others shouldn't be there either.

I don't know, minus that meltdown he had in Baltimore he's been pretty damn good, Pineda definitely deserved it over him though.

I'm sure he has, but good really shouldn't get you an all-star selection, you have to be great.
Filtering "relievers", "AL" and "qualified only".  He's 11th in WAR, 42nd in ERA, 10th in WHIP, 11th in FIP, 47th in K/9.  So when they only pick 5 relievers, you have to be one of the best, and I don't see how he's up there at all.
It's really quite mind blowing how managers, coaches and gms still overvalue "saves" and "wins" when they are clearly two of the most worthless stats there are.

Yeah, pretty funny.

Asdrubal is batting 40 points higher, has twice as many RBI's & makes one sparkling play every game.
