McCoy At Large: Who Believes That .255 Makes You An All-Star?

Joey Votto's batting average is approaching respectability again, but he won't be an All-Star. And if the All-Star game is to be merely an exhibition game with no reason to win other than pride, which as it should be, then it is OK to include a .255 hitter if he's the best his team has to offer.

McCoy “At Large”: Tired Of Soft Baseball

Call me old school, but I still want to see the take-out slide at second, collisions at home plate, umpiring without replay, and a little head-hunting only adds passion to the game. They've tinkered with the game too much...and they've tinkered with the wrong things! Read more in today's Press Pros.
