Today was the announcement of this years Allstar teams! The Brewers have 2 on the squad this year! Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun! Prince is an alternate at 1st base! Ryan Braun is starting left field for the west allstars!!!! I voted for them both! I made sure I voted as much as I allowed! Go Brewers!

Yeah, I knew that Braun would make the team because he led all outfielders in votes, but I was happy to see that Prince made it too. He's an alternate, and two of the other alternates are also first baseman, but Prince should see some playing time and probably get at least one at-bat. Plus, Prince will be competing in the home run Derby. I don't think he'll win, not competing against Albert, Ryan Howard and Adrian Gonzalez, but I just hope he doesn't embarrass himself or the Brewers. And, I just hope the Derby doesn't screw up his swing for the rest of the season like it did for Carlos Lee a few years ago.
Either way, I'm glad to see that the Brewers will be well represented with their two big sluggers.
Now, they just need to make a trade before the deadline and bring in a pitcher. Roy Halladay is on the market, but the Blue Jays will want far too much for him.

I am very happy the Brewers have to Allstars! I heard Prince will be in the home derby,too. I hope he does well! Pricne won't embarrass himself or the Brewers! Ya,the Brewers need a pitcher but it is hard to say if the Brewers will be able to get someone they need that is affordable! We'll see! Thanks for the response! Go Brewers!

And Trevor Hoffman was added to the NL All Star roster today due to the Dodgers Jonathan Broxton coming down with a foot injury that happened Friday night. Wow, what a break.
Hoffman should have been a shoe-in on selection Sunday. Well glad the future HOF'er is going to be there on Tuesday.
