1B- Jesus Aguilar

RP- Jeremy Jeffress

 

Those are your 2018 Milwaukee Brewers All-Stars. The total of 5 is a franchise record.

 

Jesus Aguilar has won the NL Fan Final vote and becomes the Brewers 4th 2018 All Star.

 

Jeremy Jeffress has been added as an injury replacement for Nationals pitcher Sean Doolittle.

[Brewer Fever]

No Jeffress

[Invader3K]

Aguilar has to make it in, doesn't he?

 

I think there's good chance Jeffress makes it as an alternate for another reliever.

[Brewcrewin07]

Yelich made it

Haven't looked real close yet, are there any NL AS pitchers at risk for missing the game?

[82brewcrew82]

I'm sorry but if we are looking at just this year there is no way Votto belongs on this team over Aguilar.

No Aguilar is insanity. He's got to be a shoo-in if even one replacement is needed.

[IntentionalHBP]

Aguilar not named as a reserve despite have around 70 less at bats than the others.

[topper09er]

I guess leading the league in HR, SLG and OPS is not good enough for the all star team. Makes sense

[folly412]

Has CC let Roberts know he's only allowed to use Hader in the 6th-8th innings, and only in a tie game or with a small lead?

i hope he tells him not to use him at all.

[StearnsFTW]

Aguilar screwed royally .

[Invader3K]

Yelich, Cain, and Hader all in via Player Vote. Pretty special.

 

Yes, Aguilar and Jeffress also absolutely deserve to be in as well, though.

People and media say year after year that fans shouldn't pick All Star position starters (which I disagree with), yet the managers and players vote in Joey Votto from the last place Reds? Evidence that bias and favoritism is human and not limited to fans.

Is he the reds only rep? If so, that's probably why he got in.

[IntentionalHBP]

The reds have three reps. Suarez, Gennett and Votto.

Yea. That's garbage imo.

Aguilar, Belt, Carpenter, Muncy and Trea Turner in the NL final vote. Gotta get Jesus in there.

There is going to be a big push for Max Muncy in that vote. Time for Brewers fans to choose Jesús.

Very uphill battle on fan for for Jesus.

Muncy & Trea will get much love & vote support.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

1B has always been a fraternity where you have to be good several seasons before they let you in. Stupid? Perhaps. It's likely because it's an offensive position and you have to replace someone else with much more name recognition. You typically play first because you can hit.

 

I'm fine with three. I think it'll be four when it's said and done.

Here is the link for the Final Fan Vote. It's very easy to cast your vote and even easier to re-vote...

Aguilar and Muncy are the only choices that wouldn't be a joke.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I'm pretty sure Fielder was left off the team early in his career in similar fashion and he was a name everybody knew

[MrTPlush]

Yikes, a bunch of big markets. I’d love to be proven wrong (will do my part), but I predict 3rd place finish.

 

I know everyone wants Aguilar to make it, but jeez why act like the other options are all trash? Personally it should be Muncy or Aguilar just because I feel the AS game is more about featuring offensive talent and not defense. That’s probably a wrong way to look at it, but for reserves that’s what I like to see. That being said most of these guys have higher WARs than Aguilar. ABs all equal most are likely comparable.

 

I don’t know much about the others, but Aguilar has been so huge for the Brewers and had so many big moments. That with the stats should have gotten him there. Sucks if it doesn’t.
