I cannot remember how the Cal League All-Stars are selected but half of these guys are head scratchers. I agree that Miler and Webb have All-Star numbers but there's nothing special about the other guys. Fargas has a weak slash line, and even his on base is not that great, considering his lack of power. Franco may have 22 doubles, but only has 1 triple and 1 home run. His OPS is around .710. Cabrera's ERA is 3.62, his WHIP is 1.61 and he's K'd 58 in 67 IPs (in fact, there is not much to write home about with SJ pitching this year, in general). Yawn. I think that Gio Brusa, Matt Winn and Heath Quinn are much more deserving. Winn is hitting .252/.322/.466 so far, putting up the best production amoungst any catcher in the Giants' farm. I realize that Quinn was injured for a bit, but his .344/.403/.520 is the best on the team, with Brusa the closest at .252/.327/.510.

SFGRTB said:

Keep in mind that there is only 8 teams in the Cal League. I'm sure the only reason Quinn wasn't selected was because of injury. Brusa is a weird omission if only because his game is tailor-made for All-Star games. But he was injured as well.

IDK for sure, but they might have a mandate for a certain amount of players from each team or position.

LHG said:

I looked up the picks for the North Team and the whole thing is frickin' joke. There are two Visalia catchers, one of which just went on the dl. There are two Modesto 1st basemen, one of which got promoted to AA, so maybe Brusa gets the call. There are only three outfielders, and one of them is a 25 year old from Stockton who has a .280/.333/.394 slash.
Fargas isn't even listed on the link I found, so he may be replacing one of the guys whom either got promoted or went on the dl, but why Fargas?
The rosters were announced on June 11th. Quinn was activated the day before and Brusa a week before that. I don't know how long before the announcement is the selection process, but Quinn should have at least been a replacement to a guy not able to play. Just my very opinionated two cents.
