Our final incorrect is SS Troy Tulowitzki. The sun came up today, water is wet, and Tulo missed some time earlier on the DL.

On to the correct answers!

This question's Sheep answer is worth 10 points. I'd like to take this time to point out that Mike Trout has 43.6 career wins above replacement, which is kind of a lot for a 24-year old. Writers tend to agree that 70 career WAR is a good starting point for a Hall of Fame case, and theoretically, Trout's best years are still in front of him.

ffs, I thought for sure Trout wouldn't be used much here bc most would use him for the final few questions.

Our next most popular correct is a 6-pointer. Josh Donaldson is on pace for a metric ****-ton of RBI's, and he remains a potent run producer in a powerful lineup.

Our next corrects are a pair of 3-pointers. Mookie Betts is having that breakout season everyone wanted to see from him this year.

Robinson Cano sure looked like an albatross at the start of his new deal in Seattle, but he's back to MVP-caliber form.

Our next correct is a 2-pointer. Miguel Cabrera just keeps on doing what Miguel Cabrera does, which is hit for a high average with good power.

Question 12 closes with 3 aces. First up is another aforementioned excellent young 3B Manny Machado. Doesn't run like he did last year, but the hit tool still plays.

Next up is the man who defies Father Time. If this really is the end of the road for David Ortiz, he's going out with quite a bang. The major league record for doubles in a season is 67, set by Earl Webb back in 1931. Big Papi has 30 at the All-Star break.

And our final ace is somebody who probably shouldn't be an ace. Jose Altuve is having the best season of his career, stealing a million bases and even hitting more home runs this year.

prob answered this somewhere but are players voted into the ASG but replaced (due to injuries or whatnot) considered incorrects?

Players named to the All-Star team and their injury replacements are going to be correct.

Kicking us off, we have a new entrant into The Club. Dallas Keuchel didn't make the all-star team anyway, but apparently someone didn't notice that the Astros have moved to the American League.

Our most popular incorrect answers are a pair of would-be 3-pointers. Zack Greinke is making a ton of money, but he didn't make the All-Star team. Looks like shaft's reign on the podium will be short-lived.
