PICKING ALL STAR STARTERS - Sully Takes Second Half of 2025 Into Account

All-Star Game voting shakes up MLB as Sully unveils a bold formula—combining FanGraphs WAR from this season’s first half and last year’s second half—to select the true star starters. Should blue-chip performers like Bobby Witt Jr., Ben Rice, and Junior Caminero be guaranteed a spot, or are ballot box-stuffing fanbases in Toronto and L.A. skewing the lineup? Controversy swirls as names like Ernie Clement and Dalton Varsho headline the finalists, overshadowing key contributors and leaving former MVPs like Kirk Gibson as historic snubs. Sully questions the entire All-Star process and reimagines the spectacle: What if Opening Day was the ultimate baseball celebration? Get inside the numbers, the narratives, and the future of the Midsummer Classic in this high-energy analysis of All-Star selection, voting trends, and the evolution of MLB fan culture.
