How could anyone argue against Jimenez? Stop that Silva shit, Kevin, he's good, but he shouldn't start the all star game. Unless something significant changes, Jimenez is having a first half of the season for the ages. He's in Bob Gibson territory.
Silva will be the Cubs All Star this year, but Jimenez should get the start.

I just pray he stays healthy and we get our closer Huston Street back and that the bats start cracking and........I love baseball :)

I have no idea who I would pick this year, though, for any position.

did anyone see this? this kid looks like the real deal.

YES! i didn't actually see the game as i was driving but an incredible first outing. 7 innings, 4 hits, 2 runs (on a mistake pitch that a major leaguer made him pay for) 0 walks and 14 strike-outs!! No pitcher has ever had 14 K's and no walks in a debut and only 5 pitchers have ever done that total. ever. he K'd the last 7 guys he faced. i watched the replays and his ball moved wicked. he hit 100 several times and oodles of 99mph pitches. i think he settled down after they got the hits and HR off him (everything was hit to RF) and then he went to work. yes, he was the real deal. believe the hype
He didn't even come close to wilting under the pressure.

At least for right now, Jimenez, hands down. With a record of 11-1 and an ERA under 1-- that is money. Halladay did have the perfect game against the Marlins, but one game doesn't make a season. Both of their career ERA's are about the same with Halladay being at it longer. I don't want to take anything away from Halladay-- I don't envy any batter that has to face either one of them-- but Jimenez is untouchable.

Still, I'd like to see how Strasburg copes with being 6 runs down, and his best stuff has abandoned him.

i have been looking for the next nolan ryan since nolan ryan.

I had handshake with Nolan Ryan at the Home Run Derby the year we had the Allstar game in Denver. I couldn't get tickets to the game, but the Home Run Derby and all that fan stuff was awesome!

And yes, Strasburg looked great. Granted, he was facing the AA Pirates...
